Our mission
as the parish community of
Our Lady of Hope
is to give witness to the love of Jesus in our families, our parish community and the world.

Our parish has a wonderful spirit and all of us together make that possible. Many people, who were here before us, believed that God is bringing us together and guiding our steps. They often asked, "What if …?" or "Why not …?" They gave thanks for what is and they hoped for what could be. We ask the same questions and share the same hope. Those who come after us will continue the same tradition that has been fashioned by the people of Our Lady of Hope, St. Bridget, St. John Vianney, Sacred Heart and Holy Cross.

The Season of Creation in Our Parish

- Home

September 3, 2019

This year our parish is observing the Season of Creation, which runs from September 1 through October 4, with a series of special activities. This is the time of year when the world’s 2.2 billion Christians are invited to pray and care for Creation. September 1 was proclaimed as a day of prayer for creation by Patriarch Dimitrios I of the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1989. It was embraced by a number of other Christian denominations in 2001 and was adopted by Pope Francis for the Roman Catholic Church in 2015. The Season of Creation concludes on October 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, to honor the author of the Canticle of the Creatures, Laudato Si, which Pope Francis adopted as the theme for his encyclical on the care of Creation. See the Calendar for each week-end's events.
