Dogma & Doctrine

The Five Mysteries

The mysteries express the Church’s faith in God and His saving work.

01

The Holy Trinity

We confess one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three Persons are co-eternal and equal, sharing one divine essence.

02

The Incarnation

God the Word became truly human for our salvation. In the one Lord Jesus Christ, full divinity and full humanity are united without confusion or division.

03

Baptism

Through water and the Holy Spirit, the believer enters the life of the Church. Baptism is in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

04

Holy Communion

In the Eucharist, the faithful receive the Body and Blood of Christ and are united with Him.

05

The Resurrection

The Church proclaims Christ’s victory over death and looks forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life to come.
