The letter of Saint Paul to Ephesians tells us:
Let there be one body and one Spirit, for God, in calling you, gave the same Spirit to all; one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all (Ephesians 4,4).

This same Spirit makes us one family, as is the Cathedral of The Holy Family, Orange California. Through baptism, we receive the gift to be of service to our brothers and sisters through our Common Pastoral Effort.
