Mission Statement
Understanding our baptismal commitment and celebrating our life in Christ through the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, we joyfully accept the call to be a sign of God's universal love for all creation in the township of West Milford, New Jersey.
Together we continually strive to serve the varied needs of our parish and the larger community, with a special concern for the unwelcomed and alienated.
We wish to fulfill our mission through sharing our experience of God's love as revealed in Jesus Christ.
Prayer of Our Lady Queen of Peace
O God, Creator of days and nights,
You called
a simple woman of Nazareth
to bear the greatest gift of all:
Jesus,
thus making her the Mother of Peace.
May every person and activity
in this parish, like Mary,
bear the presence of Christ,
bring Him to birth,
and nurture His peace.
To God,
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
be given all praise and glory
now and forever.
Amen
