Welcome to Holy Apostles Mission!

Do you wish to honor the Body of the Savior? Do not despise it when it is naked. Do not honor it in church with silk vestments while outside it is naked and numb with cold. He who said, “This is my body,” and made it so by his word, is the same who said, “You saw me hungry and you gave me no food. As you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.” Honor him then by sharing your property with the poor. For what God needs is not golden chalices but golden souls.


--St. John Chrysostom

Let no one deceive himself: anyone who is not within the altar does not have the bread of God. For if the prayer of one or two has such power as we are told, how much more powerful shall be that of the bishop and the whole church together!


-- St. Ignatius of Antioch (AD 107)
