ANNOUNCEMENT: Our beloved Archbishop-Primate, The Most Rt Rev. Dana E. Lakin, passed away on Sunday, July 16, 2023, unexpectedly. Shock is an understatement! For the human loss as a family member, friend, confidante, Christian and Spiritual Counselor to many, especially to this writer, we grieve. For the Spirit of life in us that connects our souls and heart to God, Jesus, Mother Mary and all of the Saints in Heaven, we rejoice as Dana is now pain and stress-free. "Dana", as his friends call him, was a precious child of God and is sorely missed by many... Literally around the world&. The Church is working to create an educational scholarship fund in his name. More information on this to be posted shortly.

OUR CHURCH GROWTH: We are still looking to enter into communion and grow with other independent Anglo-Catholic Churches from around the world.

ARCHBISHOP DANA'S LAST BLESSING TO ALL:

In a confidential memo from Archbishop Dana just before his passing, he wanted to bestow Blessings upon everyone by asking them to read the story "FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND"... God's promise that He will always be there in times of despair!

First, before we post the poem "Foot Prints In The Sand" below bottom in the center column, I want to extend a Blessing here to our Church Staff who have been managing Church affairs in Archbishop Dana's place since his death while the Church is seeking a new Primate. Archbishop Dana had worked with many people for many years who haveguided Archbishop Dana and the Church through many trials. They all are steadfast in the Lord. It was through their individual ministries and efforts that Christ Catholic Church - Worldwide has maintained itself spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ grown over the last three decades. Please read "Foot Prints In The Sand" in the center column of this page.

CHURCH NAME AND JURISDICTION CHANGE COMING: It has been decided that Christ Catholic Church will become a Jurisdiction in the Anglo-Catholic movement. God has manifested His Glory in this issue and has proven that He is greater than the sum of all on earth and in Heaven.

WE ARE DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Welcome to...

Christ Catholic Church

- Worldwide -

We are an independent Anglo-Catholic Church. Anglo-Catholics are members of the Anglican Communion (which includes the Episcopal Church) who emphasize the church's Catholic heritage and traditions, focusing on sacraments, liturgical worship, and Apostolic succession. This movement, which began with the 19th-century Oxford Movement, blends orthodox Christian theology with Roman Catholic-style liturgy, practices like using incense and vestments, and a focus on the Eucharist. While they are not Roman Catholic, they share many traditions and view themselves as having a distinct Anglo-Catholic identity within Anglicanism.

We are a true followersof Jesus Christ in act and deed similar to the Roman Catholic Church, though this Independent Anglo-Catholic Jurisdiction. We recognize and practice all Seven Sacraments: Baptism, The Eucharist (Holy Communion), Confirmation Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Holy Orders.

We are a "Mission Church", working with other Independent Anglo-Catholic Church Jurisdictions to bring all Catholics together under a principle of Christian unity.

Footprints In The Sand
by Carolyn Joyce Carty

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

THE GOLDEN RULE

"Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets."

St. Matthew 7:12 (New American Bible (Revised Edition)

We joyously and without condition, Love and Serve a Risen Christ. We believe in humble servitude in the service of God and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, no matter what our condition or circumstances. We love, forgive, bless and pray for others unconditionally, as Jesus loved us, and forgave us of our sins, regardless if someone hurt us or did a wrong to us. God LOVES ALL OF US and ACCEPTS US for who we are. We love each person as an individual regardless of what their past was, as God Loves us as His children, individually, and without condition.

The Beatitudes. In St. Matthew, Chapter 5, Jesus said:

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

This is what God's Word tells us!

Come As You Are...

If you are a Catholic (whether Roman, Orthodox (Eastern \ Byzantine), Reformed, Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, or other Catholic) we encourage you to participate in and support your Church, grow in the Holy Spirit, and encourage other fellow Catholics to do the same, and when you can, visit and celebrate the Mass with us.

However, if you are of the Catholic Faith or of the Protestant and Non-Denominational Faiths and feel disenfranchised, discarded, and left out by your Church, YOU are welcome in our Church.

"But seek ye first, the Kingdom of God and all His Righteousness, and ALL things will be added unto you." St. Matthew 6:33

Faith and Worship

Worship in the Independent Catholic Church

The Independent Catholic Churches, which separated and evolved from the Roman Catholic Church, are true Catholic Churches but just not under Rome. These Churches teach Catholicism and in Castholicism worship is at the centre of church life and the individual life of each believer. It is therefore very important for every Catholic to take part in worship frequently, sharing the sacraments and observing Festivals and Holy days. Worship in the Independent Catholic Churches ahere to the formality of the Roman Catholic Church, which is formal and liturgical. Who Are the Western Orthodox Catholic people?
