MISSION STATEMENT


We the People and Priests of Balally understand ourselves to be a Christian Community rooted in the love of God.

In our lives, therefore, we will try:

  • to reflect the love of God that sustains all of us in existence
  • to help others to experience and understand the love and mercy of God revealed in Christ
  • to make our parish a place of support and welcome for everybody in the area

As a Christian Community we will seek to put Christ at the Centre of our parish:

  • by trying to live out the great commandment of love of God and love of neighbour
  • by continuing the mission and ministry of Christ in the world today
  • by promoting personal prayer and public worship in the name of the Holy Trinity

As a parish we believe that all women and men, young adults and children, are called by name and are precious in the eyes of God. Like the early Church we accept responsibility for the many aspects of parish life, especially the ministry of:

  • listening to one another, forgiving one another and healing one another's wounds
  • encouraging each other in the struggle to live active lives of Christian faith, hope and charity
  • working for justice, caring for the earth and respecting each other's differences
