ST. PRAXEDIS CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
Saint Praxedis Catholic Community is an inclusive, Christ-centered community led by a woman priest and functioning within the Roman Catholic tradition. We are an inclusive language community, welcoming all to the Eucharistic table. One need only come with an open heart. We are drawn together by this common mission: “To build and nurture an active, fully sacramental Catholic community, to affirm diversity, to model a renewed priestly ministry and priestly people and to become Spirit empowered through prayer and a partnership model of leadership.”
THE LEAST OF THESE CHURCH
The Least of These Church ( a Korean progressive church) believes that ‘the least of these’ are the people who are suffering and marginalized, exploited and oppressed in this capitalistic society and imperialistic world, the racial or sexual minorities, and the little people who seek to live for justice and truth (Matt. 25: 34-40). We call on our congregation to transform the unjust structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression and exploitation, and to collaborate with other congregations and organizations for participating in solidarity actions.
