OUR MISSION:

BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST IN AN INCLUSIVELY CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF FAITH WITHIN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

The word 'Catholic' means to be part of the whole and common. For this reason we believe that God calls us to come closer towards a broader vision of great wholeness. We take very seriously the sacramental life of the Church as visible expressions of the grace of God at work in our lives. We place the Eucharist at the centre of everything, because it is the sacrament of God-with-us. Our daily prayer joins us in the prayers of our sisters and brothers in the past, present and future. We believe that Scripture is the Word of God revealing to us the mistery of our justification and redemption through faith in Jesus Christ. But God also gave us the Church Tradition, reason and experience to engage with this mystery. The celebration of the lives of the saints encourages us to move towards becoming the people God who believe that, as St Teresa teaches us, the closer we approach to God, the simpler we becomes. 

Part of our inclusive Catholic vision is the belief that God calls both women and men to receive the sacrament of ordination to the diaconate, priesthood and episcopate. We also believe that God blesses those who seek to live in permanent, faithful and stable relationships, regardless of their sexual orientation. So, we celebrate humanity in all its God-given diversity seeking to ensure that the voices of all Christians are heard, understood and engaged with in the wider Church.

As Anglican Catholics we are engaged in serving and defending the poor and marginalised. We try to build strong connections with communities in disadvantaged areas, which give shelters to the poor, disable, refugees and  asyluum sekers. So, our goal is to be a mission shaped community of faith and this mission seeks to create a place where God will dwell with us and we shall be his people.
