Our Faith

Our Faith
Our faith is set forth in the three creeds of the Catholic Church: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Creed of St. Athanasius. We believe in One, Holy, Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, and that salvation comes only by Him. We believe the Holy Scriptures as recorded in the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible to be the inerrant and infallible Word of God. We also abide by the first seven Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church.
Our worship is liturgical, eucharistic and rich in ceremonial. Solemn Sung Mass is celebrated weekly according to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the Anglican Missal, and is complemented by pipe organ and choir.
Our parish is a member of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, through our affiliation with the Diocese of the West in The Anglican Catholic Church, which is led by Bishops in Apostolic Succession.
