Mission Statement

We, the people of the Catholic Diocese of Superior, believe we are called together by God to be the church Of Jesus Christ in the rural, forest, glade and urban regions of Northern Wisconsin. We are commissioned, "Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation" (Mark 16:15), witnessing to the divine presence and goodness through worship and ministry to one another and our local communities.

Through the sacraments of initiation we are united into a Eucharistic community and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry on the redeeming work of Our Lord and Savior under the Pastoral leadership of our Diocesan bishop, in communion with Christ's Vicar on Earth.

Because of our constant need for conversion of heart, the renewal of self and our relationships, and growth in holiness, we devote ourselves to prayer and penance. We profess the dignity of each person as a creation of God capable of reflecting the divine image. We make this truth the foundation of our great respect and love for every individual as well as of our total dedication to justice and peace.

Our Faith vision is for us to be good stewards of the gifts of personhood, race, culture and all resources available to us as we build the Kingdom of God on Earth. We believe it to be our duty to discern and reflect upon the critical issues of our society and to utilize our gifts and resources to meet them. We are also to heal the wounds that divide people and to cooperate with all people of good will to alleviate human suffering. Finally, our intention is to translate our call and vision into goals, commitments and action. Promulgated: November 23, 1986.
