The mission of the Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame is rooted in faith, devotion, and the preservation of the Orthodox Catholic tradition. Founded in 2013, our parish serves as a spiritual home for all who seek to practice and understand Orthodox Catholicism in communion with the competent bishop. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to maintain and develop the Orthodox Catholic faith, ensuring that worship, liturgy, and the sacraments are carried out authentically and with reverence.
Our mission extends beyond simply offering religious services. We aim to foster a sense of community and belonging for all members, providing opportunities for spiritual growth, education, and charitable involvement. Through our work, we help parishioners deepen their understanding of Orthodox traditions while applying these principles in daily life. This dual focus—spiritual enrichment and community engagement—guides every aspect of our parish activities.
Maintaining and preserving sacred spaces is a central component of our mission. Our church buildings and facilities are essential for carrying out worship and community events, and we dedicate significant resources to ensuring that they remain safe, welcoming, and conducive to spiritual reflection. The careful upkeep of our physical spaces reflects our broader mission of stewardship, responsibility, and reverence for sacred environments.
In addition to physical preservation, our parish is committed to spiritual education. We provide guidance and resources for parishioners of all ages to learn about Orthodox theology, liturgical practice, and church history. By fostering education, we ensure that members not only participate in religious rituals but also understand their significance, allowing faith to be both experienced and comprehended.
Our mission also includes promoting unity and collaboration within the broader French Orthodox Catholic community. By participating in networks of Orthodox Catholic associations, we engage in shared initiatives, knowledge exchange, and coordinated events, reinforcing solidarity while preserving the identity of our parish.
Ultimately, the mission of the Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame is to cultivate a community where faith is lived authentically, traditions are honored, and every parishioner feels valued and supported. Through worship, education, and service, we strive to create an environment where the Orthodox Catholic faith can thrive now and for generations to come.
