The parish initiates the Christian people into the ordinary expression of the liturgical life: it gathers them together in this celebration; it teaches Christ’s saving doctrine; it practices the charity of the Lord in good works and brotherly love: • # 2179 Catechism of the Catholic Church (c) Dantuono, Vincentian Center, St. John's, University NY
