MISSION STATEMENT
Rooted in the universal call to discipleship, the mission of Sacred Heart and St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Roslindale
and Forest Hills is to preach Jesus Christ. Proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ takes many forms: preaching, wor-
ship, education, service, works of mercy, and evangelization. The staff and the congregation are guided by the overall
mission to proclaim the victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death in this time and place.
By this mission we are to be judged.
