Catholic Apostolic Church International

A Message From Our Presiding Bishop

We, as members of Catholic Apostolic Church International, are inheritors

of the legacy of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and its heritage.

As Catholics we have come to embrace not only the original groups of the

early Christian Churches, but all people who wish to worship according

to the Catholic tradition.

We look forward to the future in the third millennium of Christianity with hope

and optimism for our Church. May we always remember to be faithful stewards

of the loving Jesus� legacy of faith and trust in the Father!

We would like to share our faith in Jesus Christ with you.

We warmly invite you to visit one of our parishes or priests.

It is not correct to refer to the entire Catholic Church as the "Roman Catholic Church." In popular usage the term "Roman Catholic" only refers to the Church of Rome.

Those Churches who are not under the authority of Rome are still Catholic Churches but they are not in communion with the Bishop of Rome. Because we both partake of the Eucharist, the true Body and Blood of Christ, consecrated by validly ordained priests in apostolic succession, the Holy Father states: "they are linked with us in closest intimacy," (UNITATIS REDINTEGRATIO no. 15, Pope John Paul II).

We ARE truly and validly Catholic and an Independent Jurisdiction. We follow the Western (Latin) Rite (Roman Liturgy) within our Jurisdiction.
