Our Mission

Endowed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we the members of the Incarnate Word faith community dedicate ourselves in a spirit of mutual respect to live and proclaim the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We are called to do this by reaching in to our parish family and reaching out to the universal Church and to the global community, by ministering to their spiritual, educational, social and material needs. We will do this by using our God-given gifts of time, talents, and treasures in an environment of collaborative ministry, in full harmony with the teachings and traditions of our Catholic faith.

Father Robert J. Hermann became pastor of the parish in June of 1988. Impressed with the lay involvement in the school, the Liturgy committee, the Athletic Association, the Reach Out program, the R.C.I.A., and the annual Archdiocesan Development Appeal, he encouraged the development of a Parish Council, an Administrative and Finance Committee, a Stewardship Committee, Pastoral Planning Committee, a full time Youth Minister, a Life Teen Program, Parents for Life, and Live On for college students and young adults. Parish organizations have been expanded and now include the St. Vincent De Paul Society, the Knights of Columbus and the Ladies Auxiliary, Faith Sharing, the Welcoming Committee, the I.W. Prime Timers, the Caring Families Serving Others, the Grief Support Group, and the Gardening Angels.

Currently Incarnate Word parish is home to approximately 1989 families, the parish school has an enrollment of 436 students, and the parish school of religion serves 250 children. Incarnate Word is a dynamic parish, which encourages all parishioners to participate in the life of the church.
