We are Christians, those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world. We believe he was born, lived, suffered, died, and resurrected. He is the fullness of the revelation of God.
We believe in one God who is three persons, the Trinity. We believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three and one; in whose image we are created.
We believe that Father so loved us that he sent to us the beloved Son to save the world (John 3:16).
We continue the saving mission of Jesus Christ as Christians. We began our mission 2000 years ago with our traditions, Sacred Scripture, and practice. All that we do as Catholics, through our acts of charity, worship, acts of morality is to continue and deepen our call as disciples in that mission.
We believe that Jesus Christ proclaimed God's love for all people, this is the Good News. He died as a willing act that shows the depths of God's love, and that act is the culmination of God's plan of salvation.
The Catholic Faith is diverse and holistic.
Many people can think that “Church” refers to a building, but it actually means much more.
It is a community of the followers of Jesus who accept Him as the Son of God. We believe Jesus became human who has come to live among us. We share the same sacraments and worship together as members of God’s family.
Under the leadership of the Pope, who is the successor to Saint Peter, the person appointed by Jesus to lead His Church, the pastoral ministry of Jesus continues to be proclaimed.
The Bishop of the Diocese pastors the local Church, the Diocese. He, along with all Bishops in their own diocese exercise teaching, governance, and pastoral authority.
The Parish is where most of the missionary work of the Catholic Church occurs. The Parish is where the community gathers for worship. We celebrate the Sacraments, pray, and build community.
It is from the Parish that Catholics are sent forth into our homes, workplaces, and schools; into all areas of our community to share the good news in word and deed.
It is in the parish that people come to us, searching for consolation, assistance, and with their questions.
