• Holy Family is an ecumenical faith community in that we celebrate a characteristically Catholic faith that is not sectarian. Consistent with the Second Vatican Council, we recognize the baptism and faith of all our Christian sisters and brothers. By virtue of our common baptism, a real unity already exists in Christ's Church. Therefore, we at Holy Family, invite all our sisters and brothers to partake of the Lord's Eucharist.
• The bishop, priests, and deacons of Holy Family are free to marry and raise families or to remain celibate. To deny marriage to those who have an authentic calling to the ministerial priesthood may diminish the spiritual and psychological health of the Church's clergy.
• People who have gone through the painful experience of divorce and have chosen to remarry are not excluded from the Sacramental life of the church.
• The use of contraception and artificial birth control as a way of responsibility limiting the size of one's family is an issue of conscience to be decided by the husband and wife.
• We recognize that each baptized person is an equal member of the Catholic Church. No bishop, priest, or deacon owns the sacramental ministry or the grace of Christ. Therefore, lay people play an important role in the government of the Church. The lay people of a given faith community participate in the processing of selecting their Bishop.

• We welcome persons of all Christian faith traditions to the Eucharist table
• We support unity among all Christians

We seek mutual understanding and respect with those of other religions through dialogue and we seek mutual cooperation in the endeavor for peace and justice in our world.

Catholic

We uphold Catholic tradition with respect to the following principles:

• The teachings and person of Jesus Christ
• The Old and New Testaments
• The Apostles and Nicene Creed
• The Sacramental and Liturgical tradition practiced
• Apostolic Tradition and Succession

Communion

• A body of Christians sharing a common faith and discipline
• A community striving for justice, peace, and unity within the Church and the world

We are concerned, committed Catholics forging a path towards an emerging faith tradition which includes:

• Allowing priests the freedom to marry and raise families of their own
• Giving women the opportunity to serve God's people as ordained deacons, priests, and bishops
• Freely giving Jesus' gift of Eucharist to all the baptized; and welcoming all to the celebration of the sacraments
• Striving for justice within the Church as well as throughout the world

We welcome all who seek the richness of a sacramental and liturgical community. Each baptized person is an equal member of the Catholic Church. No bishop, priest, or deacon owns the Church, the sacramental ministry, or the grace of Christ. Therefore, lay people play a central role in the governance of the community.
