The mission statement of St. Isidore Parish
St. Isidore Parish is a Catholic faith community committed to helping people deepen their relationship with Christ. The cornerstones of our mission are:
the celebration of the Eucharist,
· Christian service,
· evangelization, and
· religious education for every person.
These are the foundations through which we help people to grow and sustain the excitement of their relationship. We are committed, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to welcoming all to our faith community, seeing Christ in one another and growing in our commitment to be more like Christ, especially in our daily prayer life.
Goal 1 - It is the goal of this parish to strengthen the faith
commitment of the parishioners, both children and
adults, by involving them in opportunities that will allow
them to experience a growth in their faith.
Goal 2 - It is the goal of this parish to develop a plan to
reach out to other parishes within our cluster. This
outreach can be on an informal and/or formal basis.
Arrangements should be made at least 6 months before the
intended date of the wedding. Please call the Rectory to
schedule your date and make an appointment to speak with
Father Walter or Fr. Paul.
Welcome New Parishioners
Please introduce yourself to Father Walter, Fr. Paul, or
Deacon Charlie. Call or visit the rectory to fill out a
registration card to be included in our database.
Cancelation of Mass due to Inclement Weather Morning Mass on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday is canceled whenever the Nashoba Regional high school cancels class or has a delayed opening. Cancela-tion of Masses on Saturday evening or Sunday will be posted on the home page of the parish web site at least one hour before Mass is scheduled to begin.

Service Opportunities for Adults

Christ’s Love through works of
Service.”

idea learn about the many opportunities available. All are welcome to join us ei-
