On Saturday, May 17, we will ordain Deacon John Glacken to the priesthood! The ordination will take place at Saint Jude Old Catholic Church in Bethlehem, PA. Congratulations Jon!
This month we welcome Duff, Robert, Virginia, and Paul to the church as seminarians. We currently have eleven students studying for the priesthood! If you would like to learn about how you can become an Old Catholic Priest, visit our Vocations Website!
Our second parish in Washington, DC - Saint Hedwig's Old Catholic Church, will be opening in their new home in the Catholic University neighborhood in June. Watch our website for details and service times.
Our community is all around us! Our organized church activities occur in schools, prisons, nursing homes, and parishes. We are also involved in 'visible witness' work, where as individuals, we minister to people in our everyday lives.
Many of our clergy are 'bi-vocational,' meaning they hold down regular everyday jobs, just like you do. This allows our clergy to bring the presence of Christ to people where they live, work, and play.
Each of our clergy, and each of our ministries are committed and engaged in their local community. They participate in social justice outreach, education, and sacramental ministries, giving special attention to those parts of society that are marginalized and ignored by other institutional churches: women, elderly, immigrants, homosexuals, homeless, and veterans.
