We are a historically African American, culturally diverse community that welcomes all people to membership an d participation in our liturgies, ministries, parish life and leadership. We gather to worship our Lord Jesus Christ in joy and are committed to addressing the needs of the Durham community and the people of God through direct service and promotion of social justice. We proclaim the Gospel by our lives: evangelizing, educating our youth and practicing a spirituality that finds God in all things. 

Our vision is to be a Catholic community of faith, characterized by praise, reverence and service to God our Lord. We strive to be actively engaged in our mission, church and community in collaboration with others, enabling us to be "a fire that kindles other fires."
