The objectives of the Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame reflect our dedication to faith, community, and service. Since our founding in 2013, we have pursued a clear set of goals designed to strengthen Orthodox Catholic worship, support parishioners, and maintain sacred spaces.
Our first objective is to preserve and develop the Orthodox Catholic faith. This includes ensuring that liturgical practices, sacraments, and religious services are conducted in accordance with Orthodox tradition and in communion with the competent bishop. By maintaining these core practices, we provide a consistent and authentic spiritual experience for all parishioners.
A second objective is the upkeep and maintenance of our church buildings and facilities. Our parish recognizes that sacred spaces are essential to spiritual life, and we are committed to ensuring that these spaces remain safe, welcoming, and suitable for worship. This includes routine maintenance, repairs, and improvements that support both the physical integrity and aesthetic quality of our parish.
Community engagement is another key objective. We seek to foster unity, cooperation, and participation among parishioners through educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and social initiatives. By encouraging active involvement, we strengthen the bonds of our parish community and create an environment where faith is experienced collectively.
Collaboration with other Orthodox Catholic associations in France is also a core objective. By participating in networks of associations, we exchange knowledge, coordinate events, and support initiatives that promote Orthodox Catholicism nationally. This collaboration enhances our parish’s capacity to achieve its mission while contributing to a broader ecclesiastical community.
Finally, our objectives include spiritual education and formation. We aim to provide parishioners with the resources and guidance needed to deepen their understanding of Orthodox theology, history, and practice. Through educational programs, study sessions, and mentorship, we ensure that parishioners can grow in knowledge, devotion, and spiritual maturity.
Together, these objectives form a comprehensive framework that guides the Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame in its work, ensuring that our parish remains a vibrant, authentic, and welcoming Orthodox Catholic community.
