Our Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our vision is to be a progressive, inclusive, affirming Catholic Church rooted in Tratdition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to be a prophetic witness to the Love of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. We do so through a faithful adherence to Catholic Tradition in Faith and Worship, assenting to the wisdom developed over the centuries. It is from within this faithfulness that we have developed what are often termed \u201cprogressive views\u201d on certain issues. This is stated in our Profession of Faith.
\u200b
It is faithful listening to, and discernment within, the Infinite Love of God \u2013 that is, being \u201crooted and grounded in love\u201d (Eph. 3: 17) \u2013 which leads us to witness to these \u201cprogressive views\u201d; which leads us to witness to a different Catholicism; a Catholicism faithfully \u201crooted and grounded\u201d in the Tradition of Faith passed on to us; a Catholicism decidedly open to \u201cthe breath and length, and height and depth\u201d (Eph. 3: 18) of the inclusive love of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a mistake often made to think that faithfulness to Tradition is exclusive of a progressive and inclusive orientation. God calls us to witness to a Tradition which is so \u201crooted and grounded in love\u201d (Eph. 3: 17) that it is open \u201cto know also the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge\u201d (Eph. 3: 19); and all human preconceptions. God calls us also to witness to love which is not faddish, but rather to love which is \u201cthe love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge\u201d (Eph. 3: 19); and all human expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our witness, whether big or small, is both the individual example of our lives as members of this Church and the example of our Church\u2019s continuing presence among the People of God. Our witness is rooted and grounded in the Eucharist, the ever-abiding presence of Christ. This is why we come to the Altar today, and every day, drawing close to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. We come seeking continued guidance and sustenance from God; desiring to be \u201crooted and grounded in love\u201d (Eph. 3: 17) so that we may come to experience and understand \u201cwhat is the breadth and length, and height and depth\u201d (Eph. 3: 18) of the love of God for us; and, in this, to hear the call to share with others that \u201cthe love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge\u201d (Eph. 3: 19) is meant for them as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
