Can Non-Christians Be Saved?

Traditionally Catholics have taught that the Church is necessary for salvation. This belief is based on the teaching of both Scripture and tradition. We believe that Jesus is present in His body, the Church, and that He is the one Mediator and the unique way to salvation.

Baptism Classes

In baptism we come to Christ. And there with Him we become spiritually alive as God’s People called to share in His mission to proclaim God’s glorious presence and works among us. The key to understanding Baptism, the first of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist), and indeed all of the sacraments, is found in the simple word: "Christ in us and we in Him." Through baptism (and the subsequent gift of faith) we are called, from the darkness of not knowing God to the marvelous light of dwelling with and in Him. At the font of baptism, we are reborn and become new creations, clothed with a Christian dignity and called to witness, in word and example, to the Gospel of Life.

Prayer for the Week

Lord God of power and might, nothing is good which is against your will, and all is of value which comes from your hand. Place in our hearts a desire to please you and fill our minds with insight into love, so that every thought may grow in wisdom and all our efforts may be filled with your peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
