Pastor's Message
Welcome to the Mission Basilica San Buenaventura!
...the Mission by the Sea!
At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, we hear Jesus commission His disciples (MT 28: 16-20):
“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
This is our baptismal identity and calling…to be disciples of the Lord Jesus who is risen from the dead. To help us to remember who we are in Jesus and what we are called
to do, you will see and read new signage in the back of the Basilica and in the foyer of O’Brien Hall.
We are called to be DYNAMIC DISCIPLES.
- A Dynamic Disciple Believes in Jesus as Savior.
- A Dynamic Disciple Grows in following Jesus.
- A Dynamic Disciple Gathers in a faith community.
- A Dynamic Disciple Loves unconditionally.
- A Dynamic Disciple Leads other to Jesus.
