Partnership Mission Statement
(Joint Diocesan Statement Approved in October of 2004.)

The foundation of the partnership between the local churches of Saint Cloud, Minnesota and Maracay, Venezuela, rests primarily on our unity in Christ as manifested in the Gospel, in the Eucharist and in our communion with the universal Church.  

We live and celebrate our communion and deepen our bonds of solidarity by sharing our gifts, both spiritual and material, and by promoting social justice among our peoples.   This relationship commits us to transform our dioceses and our world into the Reign of love, justice and peace of Christ.

Hermandad Saint Cloud, Minnesota - Maracay, Venezuela: Propósito

La hermandad entre las iglesias locales de Saint Cloud, Minnesota y Maracay, Venezuela, se basa fundamentalmente en nuestra unidad en Cristo manifestada en el Evangelio, en la Eucaristía y en nuestra comunión con la Iglesia universal.

Vivimos y celebramos nuestra comunión y profundizamos nuestros lazos de solidaridad compartiendo nuestros dones, tanto materiales como espirituales y promoviendo la justicia social entre nuestros pueblos.   Esta relación fraterna nos compromete a transformar nuestras diócesis y el mundo, en el Reino de amor, justicia y paz en Cristo.
