What is the Catholic Church?

The Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination in the world. As Catholics, we believe that the Catholic Church is a very special gift from God and founded by Jesus Christ Himself. We also believe that the Catholic Church contains the fullness of all the gifts that Christ Jesus wishes to give to the world.


Under the leadership of the Pope, who is the successor of Saint Peter, the person appointed by Jesus to lead His Church, the teaching of Jesus continues to be proclaimed. This role of the successor of Saint Peter can be traced right back from this moment in history to the time of Jesus.


As Catholics, we strive to develop and live as an active and welcoming Catholic community where people of all ages can draw closer to God, work together to build a Christian community, and are able to offer support to each other in growing to our full God-given potential. In our lives, we strive to witness God’s love for us through the way we live our lives and through our outreach in service to one another.


What Catholics Believe:

The Catholic Church was established by Jesus Christ to continue proclaiming His message on the meaning of life and on how to live our lives to the fullest, as well as to provide opportunities for growth and love.


Catholicism is steeped in two thousand years of faith and devotion to Jesus Christ and His message of love and salvation for all people.


At the core of the Catholic faith is the belief in one God, who exists in three distinct yet inseparable persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. This triune God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and is characterised by infinite love, mercy, and justice.

Catholics profess the Apostles or Nicene creed at every Sunday Mass to affirm our belief in these essential truths and create a sense of unity and shared purpose amongst a larger body of believers. The Creed serves as a reminder of the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation. By professing our faith, Catholics renew our commitment to live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
