Our Mission
We, the Catholic community of St Edward the Confessor, are called through baptism to be the family of God. United in our belief, we aim, as a community and as individuals, to grow in friendship with Christ and to share that friendship and love with each other, with the wider community of Aylestone and beyond.
We aim, by the example and witness of our lives, to bring others to recognize Christ as Lord and Saviour, and to bring about his kingdom. In unison with the other Christians in Aylestone, we aim to support, care for, uplift, strengthen and encourage people who are vulnerable or marginalized, those who are housebound and our young people. Our mission is to give a moral lead because of our belief in Christ and to pass on sound values to the community around us.
