Jesus declared that the greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God with all your soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. (Mk 12: 30-31)
In response, the mission of the Parish Pastoral Institute (PPI) of St. John Neumann Catholic Church is to form committed faith leaders in our parish, both as individuals and as Catholics in the world community and to lovingly challenge them to be conformed more fully each day unto Christ, “for those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Rm 8:29).
