Mission Statement<br />
Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish<br />
Lawrence ~ Methuen<br />
Our Lady of Good Counsel is a diverse multi-cultural parish<br />
serving the Catholic community of Methuen and Lawrence.<br />
We are committed to building a community of faith<br />
intent upon God, in unity of mind and heart.<br />
We are a family of believers, joined by our Baptism, and<br />
nurtured by the Eucharist. As children of God, we endeavor<br />
to bring the love of Christ to all we meet. We are<br />
committed to be the Body of Christ, rooted in the tradition<br />
of the Catholic Church. Together we worship and praise<br />
our God. Guided by prayer and the counsel of the<br />
Blessed Mother, we minister to the community through<br />
faith formation, fellowship, and service. With diligence,<br />
compassion, and love we endeavor to help others come<br />
to know and love Jesus. Empowered by grace, constant<br />
in our mission, we strive to be led by the Holy Spirit.<br />
