Our Parish Mission Statement
We, the Catholic Church of Desoto Parish, embrace the universal mission of the Church. As
members of the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit calls us together to worship the Father: By
celebrating God’s presence among us in both Word and Sacrament; by proclaiming the Good
News of Jesus’ redemptive death and resurrection and by expressing God’s unconditional,
liberating and healing love in our service to others in the world.
Father Mathew Long - Deacon Bill Kleinpeter
