Welcome From The Archbishop

I Welcome you to the Website of the Western Rite-Old Catholic Church.

We offer The Sacraments to all Catholic and Non-Catholic Christians seeking forms of worship and beliefs founded in the traditions and beliefs of the early Catholic Church.

We hold the view that The Western Rite-Old Catholic Church continues to hold true to the original message of love, given to the early church by Jesus Christ.

We believe that You are Catholic, even if:

You have been divorced and re-married
Marital status is not a sin. You should never be denied The Sacraments.

You have a non-catholic spouse,
All Baptized Christians are Welcome to The Lord's Table.

You use Artificial Contraception (Birth Control),
That is a matter for Your Own Conscience.

God’s Unconditional Love does NOT discriminate against any human being on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin. We see all mankind as created by God who is all Knowing and all Loving.  

We hope that you take time to explore our pages and learn more about the Western Rite-Old Catholic Church.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
