“A parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful…
It is the place where all the faithful can be gathered together for
Sunday celebration of the Eucharist… The parish initiates the
Christian people into liturgical life, it gathers them together in
celebration, it teaches Christ’s saving doctrine, it practices the
charity of the Lord…” (Code of Canon Law)
“You cannot pray at home as at church, where there is a great
multitude, where exclamations are cried out to God as from one
great heart, and where there is more: the union of minds, the
accord of souls, the bond of charity…” (St. John Chrysostom)

The high hopes expressed for a parish in the above quotations can only be fully realized when many people seek to love and follow the Lord together.
