All Are Welcome Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions , Rock of faith and vault of grace, Here the love of Christ shall end divisions: all are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place
All Are Welcome Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true, Where all God’s children dare to seek To dream God’s reign a new. Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace: Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus: all are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1. The Life of Man – to love and know God
“God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. continue
He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. continued
To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life. (CCC #1)
