    Faith: Personal and Communal


    Faith is a personal act: we each choose to believe or not to believe. Faith is a communal act: others pass on Gods Revelation to us, and others support our faith. Scripture and Tradition teach that God wants us to be part of a church, a community of believers.

    Proclaiming Our Faith


    One of the first Christian creeds, found in the Bible, focuses on the death and Resurrection of Jesus. Christians have been proclaiming the Apostles Creed since the Churchs earliest days in Rome.

    Everywhere in the world, Catholics recite the Nicene Creed every Sunday at Mass.

    An Early Creed
    For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve (1 Corinthians 15:35).
