Mission Statement
Our mission is
to encourage all members of the Body of Christ to become full participants in the life of the Church by dedicating 2,000 hours
to the Lord.
Perceived Problem
It is perceived that, over the last 40 years, many individuals have drifted
away from the Church. Many return upon marriage and starting a family. Some return for other reasons, however, some do not
return for many years and some never find their way back to the Church.
Proposed Project
The proposed project
is intended to engage the interest of youth, young adults, canidates for Confirmation, those making retreats and those returning
to the Church after an absence. The process would provide them with an incentive and opportunities to have positive experiences
in the Church, to develop a prayer life, to continue with their religious education as an adult, to actively participate in
their local parish community and to engage in meaningful community service both within the Church and in civic life. In addition,
it is noted that today’s youth and young adults, as well as many of the more mature community, are constantly engaged
in communications via the Internet and other e-media. It is considered essential that a fully interactive website and other
electronic media that allows a virtual community to develop be provided.
Why 2000 Hours?
The standard work
week in the United States is 40 hours. 40 hours times 50 weeks is 2000 hours, which is many industries is considered a standard
work year. Also, most people work approximately 40 years and 1 hour per week for 40 years is approximately 2000 hours.
