Mission: Not Just Words
An organization of Catholic men and women committed to the ideals of charity,
unity, fraternity and patriotism.
Charity
Loving your neighbor as Christ taught (Matthew 22:39) by feeding the hungry and aiding the vulnerable. This service unites the parish community around shared compassion and mutual support.
Unity
Preserving the bond of peace in the Spirit (Ephesians 4:3) as the early Church did (Acts 2:44–47). This communal fellowship strengthens ties among believers, fostering a supportive faith community.
Fraternity
Showing brotherly love (1 Peter 3:8) in line with Blessed McGivney’s call to care for widows and families (James 1:27). This cultivates a network of mutual aid, building trust and solidarity within the local council
Patriotism
Submitting to God and country (Romans 13:1) and honoring faith-driven patriots through acts of supporting warriors, veterans, students and religious. This shared civic devotion brings community members together in service and public witness.
