Welcome
We are a small body of Catholic parishes throughout the United States. We are not Roman Catholic but rather a completely independent Church that lives and worships in the Catholic tradition. Our liturgy is familiar to Roman Catholics but our theology is quite different. We welcome all persons to the sacraments when they come sincerely seeking God. Our worshippers are involved in all aspects of Church governance. We ordain clergy without regard to gender or sexual orientation. We honor the pope as the Bishop of Rome but we do not acknowledge him or anyone else as the supreme head of the Church on earth. Following the example of our founder, Dom Carlos Duarte-Costa, we are advocates for peace and social justice. We are warm, open, welcoming, and inclusive.
Learn about us here on our website. Then come and visit us. We think you'll stay for a lifetime.
