How will I benefit from supporting this church of communion?
"Holiness is not just a matter of piety, but holiness means becoming who we are, who we have been made through baptism. Holiness requires an openness to others, a confident trust in others and a passionate desire to include all gifts in the building up of a church of communion."
- Archbishop James Weisgerber, Building a Church of Communion: The Pastoral Vision of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg.
By supporting a church of communion, you will:
- Gain a deeper sense of what it means to be in communion
- Know that this community is making a difference in the world
- Feel joy from serving others
- Ensure the church will be here, healthy and alive, for future generations.
The Church, consequently, equipped with the gifts of her Founder and faithfully guarding His precepts of charity, humility and self-sacrifice, receives the mission to proclaim and to establish among all peoples the kingdom of Christ and of God. She becomes on earth the initial budding forth of that kingdom. [Vatican II Constitution on the Church, paragraph #5]
