Statement of Beliefs
Our Faith in Community and Society
Welcome to the Statement of Beliefs of Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church – a vibrant and devoted community rooted in faith and serving the needs of our community. As an esteemed institution in the category of Community and Society - Faith and Beliefs, we aim to share our profound beliefs, traditions, and values.
Deep-Rooted Catholic Beliefs
At Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church, we embrace the timeless teachings and principles of the Catholic faith. Our commitment to prayer, worship, and the sacraments forms the foundation of our community. We hold steadfastly to the teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizing love, compassion, and service to others.
The Holy Trinity
Our belief in the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - is at the core of our spirituality. We recognize God as the Creator of all things, Jesus Christ as our Savior, and the Holy Spirit as the guiding force in our lives. This belief shapes our understanding of God's presence in the world and our relationship with Him.
The Catholic Mass
In our parish, the celebration of the Catholic Mass holds immense significance. The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, is the central act of worship through which we receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. It is a sacred moment of unity, nourishment, and spiritual growth.
Sacraments and the Path to Salvation
We believe in the power of the seven sacraments as a means of receiving God's grace. Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick are all conduits through which we encounter the divine presence and nurture our faith.
Pillars of Our Community
Worship and Prayer
At Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church, our community is united by a deep devotion to worship and prayer. We gather regularly to celebrate Mass, pray the rosary, and engage in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Through prayer, we seek guidance, strength, and a deeper connection with God.
Serve Others Through Charity
Compassion and service to others lie at the heart of our mission. Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, we actively engage in charitable acts within our community and beyond. Through initiatives such as food drives, homeless outreach, and support for those in need, we strive to make a positive impact on society.
