Mission of the Catholic Church
. . . .the Church is catholic because she has been sent out by Christ on a mission to the whole of the human race:
Holy Family Parish seeks to foster a oneness in spirit through a continuing renewal of our Catholic faith. We are called, as one family, through our awareness of the Father's presence, to proclaim and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Embodied through the Holy Spirit, the challenges of the 21st century inspire us to meet our responsibilities to one another, the community, and the Church.
Our Creed: the Apostle's Creed
(We) believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
(We) believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.
. . . .the Church is catholic because she has been sent out by Christ on a mission to the whole of the human race:
- All men are called to belong to the new People of God. This People, therefore, while remaining one and only one, is to be spread throughout the whole world and to all ages in order that the design of God's will may be fulfilled: he made human nature one in the beginning and has decreed that all his children who were scattered should be finally gathered together as one. . . . The character of universality which adorns the People of God is a gift from the Lord himself whereby the Catholic Church ceaselessly and efficaciously seeks for the return of all humanity and all its goods, under Christ the Head in the unity of his Spirit.
