We, the Catholic Church of South Jersey,

envision growing ever more

into a dynamic community of faith, hope, and love

wherein we reveal the mind and heart of Jesus

through our actions and worship.

Empowered by baptism, inspired by the Holy Spirit,

and formed by the Word of God

and the sacraments, especially Eucharist,

we will-with Jesus living in us-reach out with love:

To proclaim and teach the truths that save,

To welcome back those who have left our family of faith,

To forgive and seek forgiveness,

To care for our sisters and brothers in need,

To work for peace within our families and communities,

To promote respect and justice for all people,

To strengthen unity within our diversity,

And to celebrate the sanctifying love of God

that heals and transforms our world.
