Each church is unique in character, yet all are bonded in one baptismal call – becoming One Body, professing One Faith, and living One Mission.

We cry with Thomas, “My Lord and my God!” May the Lord strengthen us and give us his peace. Peace be with you! Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP. Illustration © 1997 T. Butler.
