Where the head goes, so follows the body.  As disciples, we follow after the example of the Master.  Jesus, the prophesied Messiah: gathered the twelve scattered tribes of Israel; re-established acceptable worship to the Father; and conquered the true enemies of Israel (namely, sin and death), in fulfillment of scripture, albeit spiritually and in the most unexpected way possible, from a worldly perspective.

​

     Likewise, the work of our church follows that same pattern, as she inherits that same three-fold mission, re-proposing it according to the needs of our time.  Holy Family: gathers us together as a community of believers; to worship God through the Covenant instituted by Jesus Christ; that empower us to love in obedience to teh command of Jesus.

​

     There's a certain beauty to this trinity of intentions: the gathering of the community harkens to the people of God in every age and indicates a horizontal element of the Covenant; in worshipping God through, with, and in Jesus Christ, we engage in a vertical spiritual movement; and finally, a third dimension, that of loving others as Christ loves us, is discovered through our ministry of the Gospel.

​

     Already the symbol of our faith, the crucifix is the greatest representation of this mission, which in essence contains these three dimensions: the horizontal and vertical elements of the cross, and that third dimension, which is the outpouring of blood and water from the side of Christ.
