    • What We Believe

      I believe in one God,
      the Father, the almighty,
      maker of Heaven and Earth,
      of all that is visible and invisible.

      I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
      the Only Begotten Son of God,
      born of the Father before all ages.
      God from God, Light from Light,
      true God from true God,
      begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
      through Him all things were made.
      For us men and for our salvation
      He came down from heaven; 
      and by the Holy Spirit
      was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man.
      For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
      He suffered death and was buried,
      and rose again on the third day
      in accordance with the Scriptures.
      He ascended into Heaven
      and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
      He will come again in glory
      to judge the living and the dead
      and His kingdom will have no end.

      I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
      who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
      who with the Father and the Son,
      is adored and glorified,
      who has spoken through the prophets.

      I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
      I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
      and I look for the resurrection of the dead
      and the life of the world to come. Amen. - Nicene Creed

    • GOD is the supreme being, creator, and principal object of faith. God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and omnibenevolent as well as having an eternal existence.

      JESUS (c. 4 BC – AD 30 / 33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, the world's largest religion. He is the Son of God and the awaited messiah (the Christ), prophesied in the Hebrew Bible.

      HOLY SPIRIT, also known as the Holy Ghost, is the divine force, quality, and influence of God over the universe or over his creatures. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity.
      The word spirit (from the Latin spiritus meaning "breath").

      CATHOLIC CHURCH, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church and the largest religious denomination, with approximately 1.3 billion baptized Catholics worldwide as of 2019. As the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilization.

      APOSTOLIC CHURCH - Apostolic succession is the method whereby the ministry of the Christian Church is held to be derived from the apostles by a continuous succession, which has usually been associated with a claim that the succession is through a series of bishops.
