Liturgy
The People of the Promise community has over fifty years of history focused on Eucharistic, inclusive, prayerful, progressive, friendly, open and affirming liturgy. The Mass is our centerpiece.
We use thoughtfully crafted inclusive language in our prayers and our song lyrics.
The call of women to ordained priesthood is affirmed, the sacredness of all loving relationships is honored and celebrated, and as Jesus did, we welcome ALL to the Table. If you are seeking a Catholic community where you do not need to lament that your children are hearing non-loving messages about people whose sexual orientation is other than heterosexual or feel that your “voice” is not heard, we invite you to come and experience life in our community. We are an inclusive and interactive community, where everyone has a voice.
Sunday Eucharist
Liturgy is celebrated on Zoom every Sunday at 10am and we have hybrid gatherings from time to time.

Our Creed
Since 2020, we have professed the creed that first century Christians used. The Nicene and Apostle’s Creeds have been barriers to newcomers and some cradle Catholics from experiencing the full inclusion and love that Christ would wish. Below is our creed.
For we are all children of God in Spirit.
There is no Jew or Greek,
There is no servant or free
There is no male and female;
For we are all one in the Spirit.
Shared Reflections
We recognize and embrace the truth that wisdom comes from the entire community. The presider opens the homily with her reflection and then invites the entire community to share how the weekly readings are speaking to them. All are welcome.
Open sharing happens again during the Prayers of the Faithful, when all are invited to share their concerns and gratitudes.
Being in community calls us to reach out to those unable to attend personally. Illness, schedules, distance, and weather can sometimes affect participation. Homilies are recorded and published on YouTube so that all may partake in worship.
Breakout Groups
After liturgy, we break into small groups to allow the sharing to echo and to encourage participants to get to know one another more intimately.
