Because God is Love, the greatest aim of the Christian faith is to lead us to participate in that love by loving God and loving our neighbours as we ourselves have been loved in Christ. To truly love our neighbour we need to desire their good in all things and work for their salvation. This is the foundation of the Church's social teaching.

Learning to love unselfishly is no easy task, and it takes many a lifetime to achieve this. The purpose of our community life together is so that we can learn this lesson of love and witness to it to reflect the love of God to the world.

Within the CMfD we have many opportunities for fellowship so that we can grow in love for one another, as well as activities for serving the wider community. We visit the sick, and help the poor; within our own community we seek to be aware of the needs of our brothers and sisters; we celebrate together and comfort one another; and we have a very active social calendar that helps us to grow as a community.

As St. Paul says, we "are members of God's very own family, citizens of God's country" (Ephesians 2:19). So it is that we invite you to become a part of our own family at the CMfD.
