Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte - Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The Diocese of Charlotte adopted a mission statement that serves as a reminder for members and non-members of the diocese's purpose. The mission statement as published by the diocese expresses,

We, the people of God in the Diocese of Charlotte, fortified in the Father, redeemed in the Son, empowered in the Spirit, are called to grow ever more perfectly into a community of praise, worship, and witness. We seek to become evermore enthusiastically a leaven of service and a sign of peace through love in Piedmont and Western North Carolina.

The mission statement features the Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—as being active in the life of the Church and its members. The Trinity is a central doctrine of Catholicism and some Christian denominations. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of the Diocese of Charlotte, is famous for the legend of his teaching of the Trinity using a shamrock.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:

    The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
