(11/07/2024) In the name of the Father, and of the +Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

By now, most of us know that the people of our nation have elected a new president, and some are celebrating this moment while others feel profound disappointment. Perhaps you woke this morning with mixed feelings of hope, relief, or even sadness. Regardless of how you are experiencing this transition, I invite you to remember the timeless words of the prophet Micah: “Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).

Welcome to the website of the American National Catholic Church (ANCC). The ANCC is an independent Catholic community dedicated to making the world a more compassionate place.

 

Guided by its own bishop we celebrate the same sacraments and follow the reforms initiated in the Second Vatican Council. The American National Catholic Church is a contemporary expression of an ancient faith. There is a firm commitment to the sacraments and we embrace the liturgy of Vatican II that is revered by so many in the Americas. We are also guided by the Spirit as a community which embraces a broader faith where all are welcomed and affirmed. We understand the importance of embracing and supporting each other, while continually challenging ourselves to embrace the Gospel calling of Jesus Christ.

 

We are happy that you have found our website and welcome you as you learn more about our ministry and role in Christ’s church. More than likely, you may be surprised to discover one of the best kept secrets in the Church Catholic – that other bodies of that same church grow and thrive independent of the institutional church.

 

We hope you will explore how you can play a part in this most important ministry and so that you may learn how truly liberated the soul can be.
