Mission Statement
We are people of God of African American descent, a gifted, spiritual, and holistic community.  As the people of God, we are in full communion with the people and the Bishop of the Diocese of San Bernardino.  We accept and define our mission to be that which Christ entrusted to his church to teach, to sanctify, and to serve.

We declare our primary focus to be: (1) sharing our gifts and telling our story, (2) developing lay leadership and ministry, and (3) developing social justice and outreach ministries through evangelization of ourselves and others to the glory of God.
We align our mission with that of the Vatican II document of the church,  Lumen Gentium the National Black Catholic Pastoral Plan, and the Diocesan Pastoral Plan.  In doing this, we declare our statement as truly black and authentically Catholic.
