Mission Statement The Mission of St. Helena’s and St. Mary’s parish is to use the closeness of our community to promote the proclamation of the Good News, the beauty and richness of celebration, and the sharing of ourselves in service to God’s people. Believing in the equality of all within Christ’s family, we strive to have all people find their ministry in the church. We realize the importance of religious education to all members of the parish in helping them answer the call of Christ, to grow as ministers to our own parish and to the world community.
