Experience Jesus

MISSION STATEMENT

Saint Juliana Parish is here to help people experience Jesus. We believe when you experience Jesus, you become the best version of yourself. You experience happiness. Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome to our Catholic parish.

 

THE TENETS OF OUR MISSION:

 

SUNDAY

Keep calm and worship on! The Mass is the fundamental encounter with Jesus. “He was known to them in the breaking of the bread” (Lk 24:35). You will find here a dynamic Sunday experience through nourishing homilies, moving music, and a welcoming atmosphere, particularly for young people and families.

 

SCHOOL

Academic excellence is our standard. A child in our award-winning Blue Ribbon school or our thriving religious education program is best prepared for life. Adults too deepen their knowledge through faith formation talks, Scripture Study, and much more.

 

SERVICE

Saint Juliana parishioners put their knowledge and love of God into action by serving their brothers and sisters, for Jesus said, “Whatsoever you did for the least of these, you did for me” (Matt 25:40). Our various ministries provide you the opportunity to make the world a better place.
