The Diocese of Brooklyn strives to respond to the spiritual, pastoral, educational and social service needs of the people in Brooklyn and Queens. Professing a common faith in Jesus Christ, and sharing in the life of grace through the sacraments, faithful to the Magisterium, and empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we desire that all come to know and share in God's life through Christ's Body, the Church. To satisfy this desire, we dedicate ourselves to Evangelization, Prayer and Worship, Catechesis, Witnessing to Christ and His Gospel, Service to all Men and Women and Ecumenical and Interreligious Dialogue.
