 Mission Statement

We, the parishioners of St. Mary’s Church and St. Joseph’s Mission Church, are a welcoming, Catholic community in the Northern part of Humboldt County, who strive, through grace, to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Word, Sacrament, and service to others.

 Vision Statement

Through prayer, fellowship, and by sharing our God-given gifts of time, talent, and treasure, we will become disciples of Christ, beacons of light and love, as we build the kingdom of God.
