THE CITY OF GOD
THE MISSION​
Bearing Witness to the Light of Christ
​
Our Mission is to imitate Jesus Christ by serving, such as providing homes and shelters for the most vulnerable in our society; especially the elderly, the unborn, the orphans, and the disabled, so that our lives may be filled with hope and love.
We are a group of clergy and lay people who continue Christ's work through works of mercy and charity.
