ABOUT US
As an Independent Catholic Church, we are not restricted by Rome in what we are able to offer to our congregants. We welcome all God's children to the table to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. All our Sacraments are valid in the eyes of the Roman Church as reported by both Saint John Paul II and Pope-Emeritus Benedict XVI as outlined in a document entitled, “Dominus Iesus” and our Apostolic Succession is truly intact. The Roman Catholic Church has had to acknowledge that not all dominations with “TRUE” Apostolic Success are in full communion with them. We do not discriminate as to their age, race, gender, sexual orientation or those that have been divorced and remarried. We are all children of ONE GOD and as such we should ALL be treated with respect and dignity.
What We Believe
We believe that:
God is Love
God is expressed as Trinity: God the Creator, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Three; but one and indivisable.
The Bible is the central and most important scripture.
Sacraments are an outward sign of inner grace.
Mass is the most important, the others being baptism, confirmation, unction, matrimony, absolution and Holy Orders.
We should forgive sins, as Jesus said: seventy times seven.…
Evil exists and is of satan.
Prayer is central to our daily lives.
Each one of us must have an active expression of ministry.
No one of us is able to judge another person; that is for God.
We are called to judge situations and circumstances and always act as we believe Christ would want us to.
We must treat others, at all times, no matter who they are, with respect and love.
We are Christian and catholic in the widest sense and stand alongside all our Christian brothers and sister.
We also believe that all persons, hetrosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transexual etc are ALL God's creation and we treat and respect everyone the same and with love and respect.
