VISION
In the image of Jesus
the cornerstone, St. Mary of the
Visitation Church was formed with the
living stones of Catholic Faith in North
Alabama. Building on our historic past,
yet set amid space age technology, we
continue to be pioneers of faith by
reaching out and ministering to the needs
of others in the spirit of Mary and
Elizabeth of the Visitation scriptural
account.
MISSION
We believe God calls us
into a life of faith, hope, and charity.
We accept this call to life through our
baptism and are graced to form a community
to hear and witness the Good News, to
celebrate our faith through prayer and
sacrament, to sustain this community
through friendship and service, and to
encourage lifelong spiritual growth
through Christian formation. Sharing our
material and spiritual blessings with all
who need to hear God's invitation of love,
we embrace the gospel charge to make
disciples and strive to be more
Christ-like. To live a life of love and
justice, we commit our gifts of time,
talent, and treasure. We, the people of
St. Mary of the Visitation, strive to
fulfill this mission through the guidance
and grace of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
