Ratings DRAFT

These ratings are a draft for review. They are assessments based only on what this church and its denomination publish online, not official reviews or endorsements.

Gospel Clarity
4/5 · Strong Provisional
The Sacraments page says Baptism 'removes Original Sin from our souls and unites us to Christ'. It describes that Christ's sacrifice was 'offered once for all on the cross' (CCC 1407) and Confession 'for the forgiveness of our sins'. Who Jesus is isn't stated beyond the name. Three elements (need, what Jesus has done, response through the sacraments), plus OCIA as the newcomer pathway, so 4 (same template and result as St. Joseph, Aston). (Rubric per ChurchCompass, 2026-10-17) source 1 · Church website
Elements found: 3 of 4 (what people need saving from, what Jesus has done, how a person receives or responds); newcomer pathway: yes

Transparency
2/5 · Weak Provisional
