Our Core Values
Anything undertaken within the St. Susanna Parish Community has Jesus Christ as its center. Our worship celebrations, our educational pursuits, our recreational activities and our business dealings all reflect the Gospel values and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. To this end, all activities in our parish community begin and end with prayer.
Every member of the St. Susanna Parish Community responds to every other person, whether within or without the parish community, in a respectful, welcoming and caring manner. In this way we reflect, and are, the love of Jesus Christ.
St. Susanna Parish is a service-oriented community whose mission is to serve rather than be served. In living out our mission, each member of the community always seeks to provide solutions to requests rather than excuses.
Every endeavor undertaken by the St. Susanna Parish Community is given a full measure of support in order to achieve the highest level of competence possible. In so doing, we make the best use of our time, talents and treasures which are all gifts from our God.
The Parish Community of St. Susanna is warm and welcoming to all its members and visitors. We invite and encourage each person to participate in whatever ways are comfortable, always mindful of Jesus’ words, “Whoever welcomes you in my name, welcomes me.”
In every endeavor, whether educational, business or athletic, participants carry the banner of St. Susanna are gracious in victory and graceful in defeat. The value of good interpersonal relationships applies to everyone and includes students and teachers, athletes and coaches, administrators, parents and all other supporters of our community. A simple way of determining how to respond to any situation is by asking the question, “What would Jesus do?”
