GOD
God is one in three divine persons: the Father, who created it all; the Son, who died for our sins and rose from the dead; the Holy Spirit, who regenerates and sanctifies souls.
HOLY SPIRIT

It is the duty of every Christian to help establish God’s Kingdom on earth through the grace and virtue of love, justice and dedication to the will of God.
THE CHURCH
The Church is made up of baptized Christians who worship together, partake of the sacraments, hear and obey the Word of God.
HOLY MASS
The Holy Eucharist (Holy Mass) is the true central point of Catholic worship. The church expects all its members to join in the common worship of God and receive Holy Communion.
HUMAN BEINGS
