Parish Mission Statement
Our
Lady of Fatima
Byzantine Catholic Church
is
a welcoming, pan-ethnic Christian community under the protection
of Our Lady, the Holy Theotokos. Our members join us from
a variety of cultural backgrounds to offer praise, honor,
and worship to the Most Holy Trinity according to the life,
liturgy, and calendar of the Eastern Christian church.
Inspired by the Russian liturgical and spiritual tradition,
we are a parish of the Roman Catholic arch-diocese of San
Francisco, administered by the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.
We
at Our Lady of Fatima Byzantine Catholic church
commit ourselves to:
•
fostering a rich, authentically Orthodox liturgy and life
while maintaining full communion with the pope of Rome.
•
educating ourselves and our Western Catholic (and other Christian)
sisters and brothers to the beauty, riches, and wisdom of
the diverse traditions present within the full communion of
Catholic churches.
•
rendering prayer for and good works to our less fortunate
brothers and sisters in the local Bay Area community.
