SAINT JOSEPH CATHEDRAL – CORE
VALUES
Core Values are the guiding principles requiring no
external justification. They have intrinsic value and importance to those
inside by which they operate and discern. They are distinctive and the
cultural cornerstones of shared work.
There are five principle characteristics that
differentiate a Cathedral: Liturgy; Arts; Music; Education and Social
Justice. We, as Saint Joseph
Cathedral hold the following core values:
Liturgy:
We regard Saint Joseph Cathedral
as the heart of divine worship, and the mother and model of liturgical
life for all other parishes in the Diocese of Columbus as inspired and led
by the Bishop and his Rector.
Arts:
We revere the majestic art and
architecture of Saint Joseph Cathedral, all of its intrinsic beauty, its
divine grace surrounding God’s holy people, its inspiration on worship and
the cultural influence it has upon the very fabric of Columbus and the
entire Diocese.
Music:
We regard sacred music as the
Church’s treasure of inestimable value and strive to follow the church’s
mandate to cultivate excellence and beauty through Gregorian chant, sacred
polyphony and the use of pipe organ to engender the full, active and
conscious participation of the faithful in the liturgy.
Education:
We impart our catechism of faith
to those embracing Catholicism with prayer and service and to all Saint
Joseph Cathedral parishioners of all ages through RCIA, Parish School of
Religion, and scholarship support for our children attending Diocesan
parochial schools, and other adult faith formation opportunities.
Social Justice/Concerns:
As a Cathedral community, we
commit to fulfilling our baptismal call to love and serve one another
through the Holy Spirit and to recognize that we are made in the image and
likeness of God & as such, we will work for social justice on behalf of
all from conception to death.
