    • What Do Catholics Believe?
 The Catholic Church is unlike any other organization on earth. In fact, it is more accurate to call the Church an “organism” – a living body: Christ’s body.

Why be Catholic? To become Catholic is to become part of His body – a process that begins with Baptism and continues forever. Being Catholic in today’s world provides great challenges and opportunities for personal growth and self-awareness, and also a solid foundation for a life of community and relationship with God.

Eight Great Reasons for Being Catholic selected from AmericanCatholic.org. 
  1. An optimistic view of creation
  2. A universal vision
  3. A holistic outlook
  4. Personal growth
  5. Social transformation
  6. A communal spirit
  7. A profound sense of history
  8. A respect for human knowledge
