        The Catholic parish faith life mirrors the ancient church of the apostles as described in Acts and various epistles. The sacraments are instruments of grace instituted by Jesus for maintaining
the well being of his creation. The Church of the Beatitudes is a parish in the full sense of this
faith life and offers the grace of God freely from cradle to grave. Members of the parish then partake in the spiritual journey experienced by their ancestors and by the faith community back
 to the time of the apostles.

Our Catholicity



In Dominus Iesus, Pope John Paul II Defines a True Particular Church. This teaching of the Roman Catholic Church was approved and published on behalf of Pope John Paul II by Cardinal Ratzinger the present Pope Benedict XVI.
 


"The Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, are true particular Churches. Therefore, the Church of Christ is present and operative also in these Churches, even though they lack full communion with the Catholic Church....


The Apostolic Catholic Church fulfills John Paul II's definition of "True Particular" Catholic Church in every way. Inquiries and verification of this document may be made to any Roman Catholic chancery.
More importantly, an active servant ministry exemplifies and demonstrates authenticity.
