Parish Mission Statement
Our Lady of Fatima
Byzantine Catholic Church

Our Lady of Fatima Russian Byzantine Catholic Church receives its mission from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, of which it is a parish. Its mission is, first of all, that of the Church itself:

• To preach the Gospel,

• To celebrate the Mysteries of Christ, and

• To show Christ’s love to those in need.

As an Eastern Catholic Community, it has the additional mission of being a witness of the living reality of Byzantine Christianity in Catholic communion. This particular mission has been reiterated in the document issued after the Synod for the Americas and by the American Catholic bishops.

The parish is committed to evangelization and outreach and sharing the spiritual and liturgical riches of the Russian Byzantine Catholic Church as part of the Church in America.
