God calls the Catholics of the Diocese of Bismarck To be Ambassadors for Christ, Who Live Stewardship in Word, Sacrament,and Service.
Our life in the Church has its origin in the Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a communion of truth and love that is our origin as a Church, the model of our life and our goal not only as individuals but as a faith community. In living a life of stewardship we adopt a grateful lifestyle and spirituality of appreciation for the many gifts God gives us. We do this in:
WORD- To nourish the faith life of its members of all ages in the truths of the Gospel, the formation of conscience, and in their relationship with God.
- To evangelize ourselves, our families, our parish and local communities, and our world.
SACRAMENT- To make the Eucharist and the sacraments the heart and center of the parish community so parishioners may become the Body and Blood of Christ.
- To celebrate our faith with joy through vibrant prayerful worship.
SERVICE- To reach out in love to those in need with ministries of charity and justice.
- To ensure the right of the baptized to a full and active participation in the life of the Church.

The following is the Vision Statement adopted by the Committee on Parishes for the planning process.
Preparing our Catholic faith communities for the future by keeping them healthy, viable and faithful.
