Vision Statement

St. Peter Catholic Church in Monument, Colorado, serves the Tri-Lakes and Larkspur communities through our baptismal mission to follow Jesus Christ – Prophet, Priest, and Shepherd-King. This is the vision of the Second Vatican Council in its documents on the Church and on the Laity.

• As a prophetic people, we seek to cultivate a welcoming, vibrant, Christ-centered and distinctively Catholic culture. We heed our baptismal call to discipleship within the parish and, as part of the New Evangelization, we boldly proclaim the Gospel to our broader community, especially to Catholics who have left the practice of their faith. We seek to assure that a rigorous, comprehensive, and parish-wide faith formation program supports this mission. In particular, we envision Saint Peter School as a community school of choice which has the requisite resources to truly excel.

• As a priestly people, in cooperation with God’s grace, we continue to grow in personal and communal holiness. We support one another in drawing ever closer to Christ through the sacraments and personal prayer. Through inspired liturgy and music, we celebrate the ongoing revelation of God’s beauty within our Church. Through the dedicated practice of our Catholic faith, we nurture vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life.

• As a kingly people, we follow the example of the Universal Church in providing a moral compass to our society. We therefore intend that our parish serve as a beacon to our local community, unwavering in our promotion of the culture of life, our commitment to marriage and the family, and our participation in a just and responsible civic dialogue. Through the diverse and energetic ministries with which the Holy Spirit has blessed us, we continue to address a wide array of spiritual and material needs within our community. We do so as prudent stewards who seek to bring glory to God. May His Name be praised.
