Mission Statement
We, the Catholic family of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, are people of faith, rich in heritage and prayer. As a parish family, we are witnesses to God's love in our community, committed to living and sharing the discipleship of Jesus. This is accomplished through Eucharistic celebration, social justice, the sharing of our gifts and by being a source of hope. We serve one another by living the Gospel. We celebrate our sense of family through liturgy, ministry and family-based education. We evangelize in our homes, our neighborhoods and our work places. We welcome those in need.

- CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING CORNER: THOUGHTS ON FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
Over the next seven weeks we will be reviewing the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. We are in an election year and the bishops have asked us, once again, to form our consciences as we prepare to vote in the primaries and later in the general elections for 2012. Forming our consciences is always about listening to God through the teachings of Scripture and the church. We hope that these short reflections on church teaching and the public policy issues they touch will help everyone to do the hard, but important work of being faithful citizens and voting according to the dictates of a well formed conscience.
