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:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“He has the common feeling of his profession. He enjoys a statement twice as much if it appears in fine print, and anything that turns up in a footnote ... takes on the character of divine revelation.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
