OUR FAITH

Our faith is in one God who has revealed himself in many shapes and forms to man and was born of a simple, humble and saintly woman, the Virgin Mary, to take us to salvation and be our guide and example. He died for all of us and rose again on the third day, defeating death. He remains among us in the Eucharist, in body and soul, in the rest of the Sacraments and in the church, through the Holy Spirit, who is the symbol of his love for all mankind.


The Priests of this parish have been ordained in the Roman Catholic Church and\or have Apostolic Succession. We celebrate the sacraments considered valid by the Roman Catholic Church, however we recognize Christian celibacy as a beautiful gift which enhances the ministry of those who freely choose it and which bears a powerful witness to the glorious reign of God. In contrast to Roman Catholic discipline, our Priests may also enhance their ministry by choosing to marry. The grace and experience of the Sacrament of Marriage can greatly increase the efficiency of priestly ministry by transforming it into a mutual ministry of both husband and wife, and endowing it with added empathy and understanding.


According to the Pauline Privilege and remembering that God has called us to live in peace, we welcome everyone who is divorced and does not want to be excluded from any Sacraments, including the celebration of marriage and living out their marriage in full communion with our church.
The biological purpose of sexuality is the responsible procreation of new human beings. For that reason, we allow the use of a safe and effective method of birth control, supervised by a doctor, as a means to achieve the ultimate purpose of sexuality, to grow in love and in mutual fidelity.


Is and always will be in our faith, the first of all Bishops and the successor of Saint Peter, considering his ministry in the promotion of unity among all churches.

We give our love to and pray for the Catholic Church and those churches who identify themselves as Catholic. We respect them and wish our best to those who in good faith look to increase their love for God and live what is preached.
