About the Catholic Church:

The Catholic Church is a community with a
2,000 year history, a global vision, a message of joy.

We believe in:

Community
where the emphasis on "WE" rather than "I"

Sacramental Life
where God is reachable through human experience

Mission
which calls us to share the revelation of God
& our commitment to God with others

Compassion
which urges us to see all people as family members

Service
which alerts us to the moral imperative to care for each other

Because we are loved by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

The Nicene Creed discusses the basics of what Catholics believe about God:

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
one in being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary,
and was became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of 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.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son
he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. AMEN.
