“Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.” ~Job 37:14
our mission statement
The People of Saint Dominic Parish
form a community of faith and worship
in the Roman Catholic tradition.
from the pastor’s desk
Dear Parishioners,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of
our mission at St. Dominic Parish. As the Eucharist is the center of our faith we
all have been called to “active participation in the life and ministry of Jesus.” We
live and serve to bring the Good News to others so that we may “foster spiritual
growth in ourselves and others.” Our parish has a long history of welcoming all
and “spreading the Word of God through Christian education, through response to
global concerns, and through dialogue on the Church’s social teaching concerning
issues of the day.” Thanks to all the staff and those who serve in so many
ministries. You make the Good News come alive and serve the People of God.
This past year has been a year that we have seen changes and challenges to our
community. The merging of our school into a new school, Southington Catholic,
challenged many to see beyond the local school to a new vision: a Catholic school
serving the people of Southington. I know that it has been difficult for many but I
would encourage you to treasure the past and look forward to the new realities all
around us. Consolidations and mergings are common place in many areas of our
culture. The Archdiocese is now engaged in a plan to merge offices, parishes and
schools so that we may meet the challenges of the future, while still continuing to
provide for the needs of our community. The purpose is to use our resources
wisely as we prepare our young people to be the future disciples of Christ. I
sponsored a four week seminar based on the book, “Rebuilt”, and invited
members of our ministries to attend. In the coming months you will all be invited
to share your thoughts on where our church should be headed in the coming years.
I see a bright future. Together we can meet the challenges of our time as we prepare our members for discipleship.
Sincerely,
Called to active participation in the life
and ministry of Jesus, we strive to live
the Good News of the Gospel and to
foster spiritual growth in ourselves and
others.
Our parish offers a welcoming
presence to all, reaching out to the
spiritual, material, emotional and
social needs both of parish members
and of persons beyond our parish.
We spread the Word of God through
Christian education, through
response to global concerns,
and through dialogue on the Church's
social teaching concerning issues
of the day.
