Vision

Learning - Loving - Living

Learning: Striving, with reliance on the Holy Spirit, to help people of all ages to learn from the Bible about who God is and what he has done for us through Jesus.

Loving: Striving, with reliance on the Holy Spirit, to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind, and to love our neighbours as ourselves.

Living: Striving, with reliance on the Holy Spirit, to live lives of service to the Lord through worship, prayer and action.

Through our three L's we aim to tie in with the Diocese's 20/20 vision...

20/20 Vision

In the Diocese of Kilmore Elphin and Ardagh we have set a 20/20 Vision of what we should be like in the next five years to 2020:

Each local church should be a community which nourishes growth through worship, the Scriptures and prayer.
Each local church should be welcoming, caring and generous in raising and resourcing ministry and mission.
Each local church should be a place were ministry and mission is for all: clerical and lay, young and old. People should be trusted and trained for service within and outside the church.
Each local church should be world looking, visible and active in the community and beyond.
Each local church should be connected in prayer and partnership with each other and the worldwide church.
Each local church should prioritize children, from pre-school to third level, passing on the faith to successive generations.
Diocesan administration and structures should be relevant, accountable, representative and supportive of the local church. Diocesan resources should be released to this end.
