Apostolate for the Protection, Preservation, and Propagation
of the Holy Catholic Faith in the Diocese of Charlotte
“The Christian faithful are free to make known to the pastors of the Church their needs, especially spiritual ones, and their desires.” c. 212 §2
By means of this website, it is our intention to preserve the Deposit of Faith in its entirety, hand it on faithfully, and make it shine forth, shunning whatever is contrary to those teachings. We intend to follow the common discipline of the whole Church, looking after the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially those which are contained in the Code of Canon Law. With Christian obedience, this website associates itself with what is expressed by the holy shepherds as authentic doctors and teachers of the Faith or established by them as the Church's rulers. Further, we intend to submit faithfully to their lawful authority so that the work exercised by the mandate and in the name of the Church is carried out in communion with the same Church. Nothing on this website should be understood as promoting disobedience against the lawful authority of the Apostolic See or the Diocesan Bishop.

“I will not leave you orphans”
Holy Mother Church is our Recourse
The Rights of the Faithful
We must know our religious rights and demand that they be respected by the Bishops who are our spiritual fathers and shepherds.
The Catholic Church, in which dwells the Kingdom of God on earth, is governed by rules. Many of these are to ensure open access to the spiritual means God has provided for the successful sojourn of His Faithful toward eternity. These rules are for the more complete dispensation of the graces entrusted to her by the Divine Master, Jesus Christ Our Lord. Learn your rights and let the Bishops and priests know that these need to be honored.
“Our Help is in the Name of the Lord”
Our Union with Christ obtains the divine assistance
“The Prayer of a Righteous man…”
We must live in accordance with our spiritual dignity in order to defend our Church and convert the hardened hearts of those who go astray.
By virtue of our Baptism, we are made true members of the Mystical Body of Christ. As a result, we cooperate with Christ in His work of salvation. By His gracious will, Christ our God has chosen to depend on us for the spreading of His Kingdom and for the salvation of souls. Our prayers and penances are powerful means of interceding with God and obtaining graces. Learn more about the power of prayer by which we may obtain from Our Lord the graces our Diocese desperately needs.
