St. Gregory the Great Church

Mission Statement

Our mission at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church is to evangelize the Good News of Jesus Christ in order to transform lives,

hearts and minds through worship, faith formation and discipleship.

As members of God’s diverse family, we treasure the rich traditions of our Roman Catholic faith and welcome all

to a spiritual home and to an enlightened, joyful and vibrant life in Christ.

At St. Gregory the Great Parish we are committed to our children and their faith formation! The Parish supports St. Gregory the Great School and a weekly Religious Education Program (PREP) to meet the needs of all the children. We baptize our children into the Body of Christ and made promises to help our children grow in faith. At St. Gregory the Great Parish we want to partner with you to keep that promise! If your child, age 4 through 8th grade, is not attending St. Gregory School, we invite your family to be a part of PREP to continue your child’s faith formation. We will be working together to promote knowledge of the faith, grow in prayer, foster community life and share in the sacramental life within the Church.
