We celebrate all seven traditional, Catholic Sacraments. We are open and receptive to the sacramental dimension of ordinary, everyday life, and the church itself. In the spirit of Vatican II we see the Mass as "the source and summit of Christian Life."

Our parishes and missions are welcoming and affirming of everyone.  Married, divorced, single, LGBTQIA+ people -- ALL are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Mass.

In CACINA, the ordained and laity share in the governance of the church and in discerning the sense of the faithful in matters relating to tradition.

The sacraments of the church are not withheld from people for any reason. All persons are able to discern vocations for ordained ministry regardless of marital status or gender.

We have vibrant ministries through Benedictine and Franciscan Orders in CACINA.

You will find an openness in ritual and language in our parishes and missions which includes different Catholic spiritualities and an expanded understanding of God. People are encouraged to preserve traditional devotions to Mary, the Communion of the Saints, and the rosary or ritual forms of prayer that they find meaningful in their spiritual journey.

We will listen to other voices with respect and try to understand even when we disagree.

Part of our mission includes ending racial disparities and pursuing full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in Christ's Church.

We have a safe church protocol to protect God’s people and we have processes in place to ensure financial accountability.

We find God fully present in the eucharist.  We also find God fully present in the Word and the gathered people of God.
