As Catholics, we are first and foremost, Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Some of our core beliefs include:

• The existence of the Holy Trinity — one God in three persons. Catholics embrace the belief that God, the one Supreme Being, is made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

• The Incarnation of the Son of God. In becoming man, God retained His divine nature and took to Himself a human nature, that is, a body and soul like ours.

• The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed the word of God.

• Baptism, the rite of becoming a Christian, is necessary for salvation — whether the Baptism occurs by water, blood, or desire.

• God’s Ten Commandments provide a moral compass — an ethical standard to live by.

• The True Presence of Jesus Christ is the Eucharist. As Catholics, we meet Jesus — His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — in the Blessed Sacrament at every Liturgy. 

• The Liturgy as the ultimate form of worship. During the Divine Liturgy, Christ continues the work of redemption.
