We are a Eucharistic people dedicated to building welcoming communities of collaboration, stewardship, peace, justice and respect.
We are richly diverse: Native, Hispanic, Latin, Asian, Pacific Islander, African, European, military and civilian.
We are a healing presence guided by the Holy Spirit to go forth united as disciples of Jesus Christ, proclaiming his life, death, and resurrection.
We live our Catholic faith in vibrant parishes, schools and other institutions, where our gifts are called forth and shared in service to all, especially to those in need.
Thus we are forming one family of faith making present the risen Christ and building the reign of God.
