We are Catholic in Traditional and Renewed Ways
We are a Sacramental Church
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."
We are an Inclusive Church
Our parishes and missions are welcoming and affirming of everyone. Married, divorced, single, LGBTQIA+ people -- ALL are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Mass.
The Laity and Clergy Share in the Mission of Christ's Church
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.
Sacramental Justice is Part of our Ministry
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 Value Religious Life
We have vibrant ministries through Benedictine and Franciscan Orders in CACINA.
We Celebrate Openness in Ritual and Language
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 Protect the Dignity of God's People
We will listen to other voices with respect and try to understand even when we disagree.
We Partner with Others to Pursue Social Justice
Part of our mission includes ending racial disparities and pursuing full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in Christ's Church.
We have a Safe Sanctuary Policy
We have a safe church protocol to protect God’s people and we have processes in place to ensure financial accountability.
We Believe in God’s Expansive Presence
We find God fully present in the eucharist. We also find God fully present in the Word and the gathered people of God.
