St. Gerard Catholic community welcomes all to join and participate in fulfilling our mission: To be “a People for Others.” Together we strive to reveal the Christ we find in one another, we celebrate in the Liturgy, we share in the tradition in the Creed, and in the Living Word of God.
Empowered by the revealed Christ we are sent to build community and witness to the Word with the preferential love for the poor.
(St. Gerard Mission Statement, adopted by the Parish Council, 1993)
A Parish Community for All Catholics
Our primary purpose is to worship the Lord as a true Catholic community, the Body of Christ. We are all races and nationalities: Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American. Our size allows us to be a true family, to help and participate together in worship, fellowship, and support of the parish.
Guests are always welcome. You will never be just a lonely face in the crowd. Children are always enjoyed; Jesus said, “Bring the little children to Me.” We have been proud of our tradition of fellowship after Mass. Stay and enjoy coffee with us and let us get to know you better.
Outreach is a part of our mission, and it is important for us to help our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is also our goal to communicate and participate with our neighbors from other church traditions.
