The Old Catholic Church Of North America

is a branch of the Old Catholic community in the United States of America with an active presence in many states.  We also have relations with several other communities throughout the USA and Canada.   This part of the Catholic Church encourages formal and informal relations with other branches of the Church.   Ecumenical outreach is one of the mission goals.   The church centers most of its activity upon caring for the disenfranchised, forgotten and rejected by society.

Our community is a direct descendent of the European (Utrecht) Old Catholic community, however, we are not members of the Utrecht Union.   (We strive to gain "reconciliation" among Old Catholics throughout the world and in particular with the Utrecht Union as well as the Anglican Communion.  "Old Catholic" is defined as those church communities that adhere to the guidelines established by the Utrecht Union of Churches while not necessarily being members of that Union.)  The Apostolic lines of succession in addition to origination from the Archdiocese of Utrecht also derive from Anglican, Orthodox and Roman sources.  These have been reviewed by Catholic scholars and pronounced a "valid succession of orders" and a "valid transfer of powers".   The Old Catholic Church of North America is an affirming, and welcoming Church.
