The Catholic Church – Deeply Rooted in Faith

The Roman Catholic Church has a rich tradition, dating back two millennia. It is a faith with Jewish roots, with Jesus as its founder, Peter as its first leader, and the present pope as Peter's successor in our day.

The church today urges all its members to develop an enduring love for the Bible and to make the sacred scriptures central to their prayer lives.

Jesus Christ is our Savior and our model. He is Son of God and Son of Mary, who walked on the water and yet wept for a friend. Jesus is both divine and human, perfect in all respects while still like us in every way except sin. By the gift of His Spirit, He empowers us to continue His work on earth.

The Church's official public prayer of worship is called the liturgy, a term derived from a Greek word signifying some public service to be performed by the citizens of the state. In liturgical prayer, members of the Church gather together and worship in a formal way. The main expression of our liturgy is called the Mass.
