One Body in Christ: Striving toward deeper holiness, serving our community


 


Text/HTML

Now, more than ever, the Catholic Church is called to a deeper holiness. Priests, deacons, laypeople, Catholics and non-Catholics are called to come together to hold each other accountable, love one another unconditionally as He loves us, persevere in prayer, healing and hope, and to serve the people of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. As we strive for greater holiness, the Catholic Church continues to be hard at work in our community.
