Catholics @ Caltech
Who we are:
“See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are”
-
“Just as God’s will is creation and is called ‘the world’, so his intention is the salvation of men, and it is called ‘the Church’.”
-
“… that the whole human race may become one People of God, form one Body of Christ, and be built up into one Temple of the Holy Spirit.”
- Pope Paul VI
“About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they’re just one thing.”
- St. Joan of Arc

the sacraments communicate: God’s own life … and this life is
in his Son.
