Question 1

Holy Communion

Accepted Answer

We are a community of people who come together regularly to pray and worship with Christ in our midst. We are committed to providing a warm and welcoming spiritual home where faith is deepened and sacramentally fed. When you worship with us, Holy Communion (Eucharist) is open to everyone who wishes to partake in faith at the table of the Lord.

Question 2

Independent

Accepted Answer

We are an independent sacramental movement of clergy and laity who identify as Catholic, while not being officially affiliated with the historic Catholic denominations. We are an alternative way to live and express the Catholic faith outside the structures that too often put the observance of laws over the pastoral care of the faithful. While we share many of the same beliefs and practices, we are also set free to let the Holy Spirit guide and empower the love that we share.

Question 3

Catholic

Accepted Answer

We are an Apostolic, Sacramental, Ecumenical, Independent, and Welcoming Catholic Community. We are “Catholic” as it means “universal”. “Catholic” in our name does not refer to an exclusive religious institution, but to an inclusive and universal Church. We are a part of the universal Church of Jesus Christ, sharing in the teachings and liturgical heritage of the Church, while celebrating a characteristically Catholic Mass and faith tradition.

Question 4

Church

Accepted Answer

“Church” is more than a building or organization. The original Greek ekklesia meant “a gathering, assembly”. That is what God designed the church to be – a group of people. The truest meaning of the word “church” is the group of believers. Christ is the head of the church, and the church is the body of Christ. While there are many different Christian denominations, there is only one “Church”. Holy Communion is honored to be part of this “Church”, with the Lord Jesus Christ as our head.
