St. Charles of Brazil is an Independent Catholic community, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live and proclaim the Gospel.

We are a sacramental community, nurtured and energized by the liturgical life of the church to realize the kingdom of God, especially through a commitment to social justice.

We are a community that fosters the spiritual growth of each member and is, in turn, enriched by that growth.

We affirm all people as children of God, including those who doubt, who seek, who question, who have experienced rejection, and we welcome all to full participation in the sacramental life, leadership, and ministry of the church.
