Our Partnership Vision
At a joint meeting of the Partnership Committees, the following Vision was agreed for the Jesmond St Mary Partnership:
We are called to be:
A community of communities consisting of members whose discipleship has its source in the joy of the gospel and who:
* share the peace and joy of Christ;
* encourage others to a personal encounter with Him;
* centre their lives in the spirituality, prayer and liturgy of the Church;
* work together as equal partners in the mission to promote the Kingdom of God, responding positively to all who are in need and being ready to reach out to other communities of all faiths and none;
* are welcoming and life giving to all;
* respond to opportunities for personal and group formation.
