Since members of the hierarchy met with Donald Trump back in April and voiced support for him (in exchange, of course, for what he could do to help finance Catholic schools and the right to life movement), I think this site is extremely significant..

About UsAll are welcome!
|
An inclusive, Vatican II Eucharistic community of faithful Catholics who believe: | |
- | that all are welcome; |
- | that no one is excluded from the Eucharistic table for any reason, because no one is ever excluded from God's love |
- | that living according to an informed conscience is every Catholic's responsibility and right |
- | that transparency and equality, inclusiveness and hospitality are the foundation of a worshiping community |
- | that loving service and outreach to others is how we "live Jesus" |
- | that the royal priesthood of the baptized must be recognized, celebrated and the basis for a discipleship of equals. |
Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace;
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions.
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true,
Where all God's children dare to seek to dream God's reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness and a symbol of God's grace;
Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus.
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where love is found in water, wine and wheat,
A banquet hall on holy ground, where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space;
As we share in Christ the feast that frees us.
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
