Our Vision

Our Vision

We, the people of St Francis of Assis Ohariu Parish, are aware of the challenges and opportunities of living out our Christian faith within the current ecclesiastical, societal and political structures.

We embrace a vision for a Church that is grounded in the Vatican II vision of baptism as the fundamental call to discipleship.

We envisage a parish that is strong in its faith, strong in its sense of community, welcoming, culturally diverse and culturally safe, inclusive and hospitable to all people, and willing to be actively and effectively engaged in bringing about a more just and equitable society – a parish where the intrinsic dignity of all people is reflected in the image of Christ.
