St. Pancras Parish, established in 1904, is a
Roman Catholic Parish of the Diocese of
Brooklyn. We are a people of diverse cultures,
needs, and gifts who come together as part of
the Body of Christ to live and share the gospel
message of Jesus.
We value family life and our participation
together in worship, education and spiritual
growth, service to human needs and social life.
We seek to:





Become a more welcoming and caring community, communicating new ideas integrated with traditional values.
Promote harmony, reconciliation and healing among our members.
Form a more enthusiastic faith-filled community.
Establish responsible stewardship of our
time, talents and resources.
Embrace the Kingdom of God while on our
mutual spiritual journey to eternal life with
Jesus.
In the security of God’s unconditional love and

gospel and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
