What's New In Our Church?
On Saturday, August 30, Fr. Thomas Hooker will be consecrated and installed bishop of the Diocese of Texas. The current bishop, Wynn Wagner, will be retiring and will continue to work in several capacities within the National Church.
Congratulations to Fr. Julius Licata, pastor of Saint Jude parish in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on his appointment of National Director of Vocations.
We continue to grow! We now have twenty seminarians enrolled in
our seminary and have three new priests in California, Florida and Ohio!

Where is your Community
Our community is all around us! Our organized church activities occur in schools, prisons, nursing homes, and parishes. We are also involved in 'visible witness' work, where as individuals, we minister to people in our everyday lives.
Many of our clergy are 'bi-vocational,' meaning they hold down regular everyday jobs, just like you do. This allows our clergy to bring the presence of Christ to people where they live, work, and play.
About Our Activities
Each of our clergy, and each of our ministries are committed and engaged in their local community. They participate in social justice outreach, education, and sacramental ministries, giving special attention to those parts of society that are marginalized and ignored by other institutional churches: women, elderly, immigrants, homosexuals, homeless, and veterans.
