The purpose of our sister parish relationship between Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Moorhead, USA and Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Kundukulam, TamilNadu, India, is to contribute to the understanding and integration of the Catholic, universal nature of the church.This active, mutual, ongoing, joy-filled commitment is carried out through:
Sharing Faith- In order to strengthen our own faith, it is important to learn how other Catholics practice their faith. This contributes to the understanding of the universal nature of our Catholic church. We are just a small part of the world's Catholic community, and it is important that we share our different traditions.Building Community- A strong community reveals there is much that keeps us together as people. We share the same desire in following Christ, doing what is just and right, and caring for other nations and communities. Through this relationship, we will create a sense of oneness and unity within our two parishes.Understanding Culture -It is important to understand that lifestyles, comforts, and struggles are not the same everywhere. -
