Our Mission
We
are a community of people created in the image and likeness
of God, redeemed by Jesus, the Son of God, and guided by
the Holy Spirit. We answer God's call to come together for
reverent worship, healing, mutual support, spiritual growth,
education and Christian action as the Catholic Community
of Franklin County, Virginia.We
witness to our Catholic faith through the love of Jesus,
our brother, which we share with each other and with those
outside our faith community.
We
affirm that this world and all that is in it belongs to
God. We resolve to use the abundant material and personal
gifts He has given to each of us to further His Kingdom
of peace, justice and mercy.
In
order to establish our presence and enable us to be this
church, we work to provide the physical facilities in the
simplicity and spirit of Francis of Assisi and organizational
structures sufficient to carry out this mission.
