The vision of the Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame is to create a thriving Orthodox Catholic community that honors tradition, nurtures spiritual growth, and serves the wider society. We envision a parish that not only provides a place for worship but also fosters learning, engagement, and meaningful connections among members.
Central to our vision is the preservation of Orthodox Catholic rituals, liturgy, and sacraments, ensuring that these practices continue to inspire and guide parishioners. We aim to provide a spiritual environment where every individual can grow in faith, understanding, and devotion. By emphasizing both the intellectual and experiential aspects of faith, our vision supports a holistic approach to spiritual life.
Our vision also emphasizes community engagement. We strive to be a parish that actively participates in broader networks of Orthodox Catholic associations, sharing resources, expertise, and initiatives. Through collaboration, we strengthen the presence and impact of Orthodox Catholicism across France, while maintaining the unique identity of our parish in Livarot-Pays-d’Auge.
Education and formation play a key role in realizing our vision. We aim to provide accessible and high-quality programs that help parishioners of all ages deepen their understanding of Orthodox theology, history, and practices. Our educational vision ensures that faith is both lived and understood, creating a knowledgeable and committed community.
The Paroisse Catholique Orthodoxe Notre Dame also envisions a parish that is inclusive and welcoming. We seek to create an environment where all individuals, whether newcomers or long-standing members, feel valued, supported, and connected. This welcoming approach fosters unity, mutual respect, and a shared sense of purpose among parishioners.
Finally, our vision encompasses stewardship and sustainability. We are committed to preserving sacred spaces, responsibly managing resources, and ensuring that our parish can continue to serve future generations. Through careful planning, collaboration, and dedication, we aspire to create a lasting spiritual legacy that embodies the values of Orthodox Catholicism.
