Our Mission and Vision
Holy Family Parish is a mission in the world, specifically sent to Hanover and the surrounding area, to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others. We strive to be a community of believers that not only welcomes and invites, but also that goes outside of our walls to meet the larger community where they are.
Mission Statement – Who we are
“Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always to the close of the age.” (Mt. 28: 18-20)
Vision Statement – Who we hope to become
An evangelizing parish, driven out of our comfort zones into the world by the Holy Spirit to proclaim Jesus Christ – The Way, The Truth and The Life: the way to our heavenly home, the truth which is needed by a world that is confused and lost, and the life which heals and transforms us by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our Strategic Priorities
Welcoming Atmosphere
We are working towards making our Parish a place where all people, regardless of age, physical condition, involvement or length of membership feel welcome and loved.. both at church and at home.
Leadership Development
Looking to the “next 20”, those who show potential as missionary disciples, we are working to build up and equip leaders who will take our parish forward, by the power of the Holy Spirit working through them.
Small Faith-Sharing Groups
We hope to initiate numerous small faith-sharing groups, involving a large swath of the parishioner base, and building faith-sharing principles into existing ministries.
Evangelizing Mission
Many do not know Christ. Using Pope Francis’ model of “accompaniment”, we will present opportunities for parishioners to share their faith by accompanying people in their lives, and equipping them to do so.
