Our Picture of the Future (vision)
 
A parish where:
 -people are being warmly welcomed into the community;

 -people are receiving nourishment and formation through the Sacraments and life of the parish;
 -people are becoming equipped for active service in the parish and beyond.

Our Beliefs

Our beliefs are summarised in the ancient Apostles' Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Our Parish Prayer

Heavenly Father
and God of Mercy
You have given us
St. Carthage to proclaim
the riches of Christ.

By the help of his prayers
may our Cathedral Parish
grow in knowledge of You,
be eager to do good,
and learn to walk
before You by living
the truth of the Gospel.

May we walk in the 
footsteps of the Good Shepherd,
keeping before us
the example of St Carthage.
Educate us to a maturity
not measured by nature,
but by the fullness of Christ.

With the guidance
of the Holy Spirit,
we offer this prayer
through Christ Our Lord.
Amen  (Alleluia)
