Who are we?


Old Catholics are a Community committed to the teachings of Jesus. We accept the testimony of His Apostles as eye witness to His life. These twelve Apostles passed on to succeeding generations their own testimony about Jesus. Through proclaiming His teachings and giving of their testimony (called Apostolic Tradition) the Apostles built up the Church. Old Catholics are a historical part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and have their origins in the Netherlands. Old Catholic orders and sacramental services are recognized as "valid" by Roman, Orthodox and Anglican authorities.

The Province of our Lady of the Angels is Sacramental. We believe in the historic Christian doctrines as found in the Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Ecumenical Councils of the First Millennium. We observe the seven Sacraments and hold Apostolic Succession through a number of lines. We welcome all to our churches, fully committed to the mandate of Christ to preach the Gospel to all, and fully mindful of "that which you do to the least of My brethren, you do unto Me
