My parish is composed of people like me. I help to make it what it is.
It will be friendly if I am friendly.
Its pews will be filled, if I help to fill them.
My parish will do great work, if I work with my parish.
It will make generous gifts to many just causes,
if I am a generous giver.
It will welcome other people to our worship and fellowship
if I invite and welcome them.
It will be a Church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith,
and a Church with a noble spirit, if I am filled with these same qualities.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task
of being all the things that I want my parish to be.
Bless our journey together, Lord God,
that we might build the Church through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
