I. Cluster Vision Statement
The Catholic parishes of Holy Infant and Shepherd of the Hills, established in the Diocese of Richmond to cater to the spiritual needs of the Catholics in Elkton and Quinque and the surrounding areas and of visiting Catholics, seek to become communities whose members, individually and communally, inspired by the Holy Spirit and nourished through the sacraments, truly embrace the Christian faith and really practice the teachings and values of Jesus Christ as found in the gospels and taught and preached by His Church. II. Cluster Mission Statement Holy Infant Catholic ChurchShepherd of the Hills Catholic ChurchWe, the parishioners of the Holy Infant Catholic Church and the Shepherd of the Hills Catholic Church, are two clustered communities but each possesses its own identity. Although we are administered and served by one and the same priest, we operate independently of each other but focus on and pursue the same vision in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration. United in faith and empowered by the same Holy Spirit, we endeavor to proclaim our Lord Jesus to one another and to other people through our God-oriented individual lives and community life and Christ-centered programs and activities, such as the celebration of the sacraments, the different ministries, religious education, outreach programs, stewardship, hospitality, fellowship. III. Parish Mission Statement of the Holy Infant Catholic Church "On coming to the house, they (Magi) saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him"(Mt 2:11). We, the Spirit-filled members of the Holy Infant Catholic community that was founded in 1951 as a Redemptorist mission to reach out to the Catholics in Elkton (VA) and in neighboring towns, are committed as a parish to actively participate, using the diverse gifts of its individual members, in the mission Jesus has entrusted to His Church--to proclaim Him to everyone in word and in deed. Dedicated to the Holy Infant who was adored by peoples of all races and from all walks of life--Jews, non-Jews, shepherds, kings, our parish welcomes and serves everyone and our church continues to be a spiritual center where members and visitors together experience the spirit of true friendship and love and where people can enhance their Christian and spiritual lives through meaningful liturgy, youth and adult education, and service-oriented activities. IV. Parish Mission Statement of the Shepherd of the Hills Catholic Church "I am the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (Jn 10:11). We, the welcoming and caring Catholic faith community of the Shepherd of the Hills, dedicate ourselves to the service of God and His people, particularly in Greene County, Virginia. Created as a parish in 1979 under the patronage and protection of Jesus Christ, our good and compassionate Shepherd, we have been and continue to be actively involved in the work of the Lord through the Church to promote the human and Christian dignity and spiritual development of persons. Relying on our strong spirit of voluntarism and stewardship, we manifest our great commitment to this mission through prayer and worship, religious education of members and would-be members, service to the poor and needy, and other means in which we can bring Jesus to other people and lead and guide other people to Him.
