Portrait of Father Michael Ellis in white clergy vestments Father Michael Ellis was elected the Chancellor of the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America (CACINA) by the College of Bishops.  He assumed the position when the former Chancellor, Bishop Theogene, was elected CACINA's Presiding Bishop after the retirement of Bishop Santore.   After the being elected to the position, Father Ellis said, "I am honored, and, with God's help and that of my CACINA family, will do my best to serve the needs of our faith community."  The People of God of CACINA join the College of Bishops in congratulating Father Ellis on his new position in the Church.

Dr. Mary's discourse during the service was very enriching and the people of God in CACINA are very fortunate to have her among the ranks of its clergy.  Rev. Mary will be serving in the Diocese of San Damiano.  Below you can view a video the incardination service.

Chinnapa Madanu was consecrated as bishop by Bishop Peter Hickman of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion at the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America's (CACINA's) St. Theresa Parish in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Sunday, January 23, 2022.  CACINA bishops Tony Green and Michael Theogene were co-consecrators.

Bishop Madanu was elected as bishop by more than 600 parishioners in India.  Bishop Madanu will serve as Bishop of India, a new independent Catholic jurisdiction.  CACINA expects to enter into an inter-communion agreement with Bishop Madanu and his newly formed jurisdiction at a later date.
 
We pray for Bishop Madanu and the people of faith in his jurisdiction in India.
