Today’s challenge for our parish, school and neighborhoods is not multicultural, but intercultural living. As we strive to live in community with one another, we must learn to understand and honor our differences and to live across them.

Dealing with diversity begins in the heart, and what begins in the heart must be nurtured and turned into action. The people of God who worship, learn, pray, and play at St. Kieran are our greatest resource to meet the challenge we face. If we are willing to share our God-given gifts with one another, we will be profoundly changed by our encounter. As children of the same God, we can further the achievement of a new world—God’s kingdom on earth.

Our newly-formed St. Kieran Diversity committee is pledged to prayer, sacrifice, and action to further this effort in our midst. We ask that you pray with us that the Holy Spirit empower us all to live truly as God’s people.
