God Bless America!
We are the Igreja Catolica Apostolica (ICAB),
in the United States, part of the
MEXICAN NATIONAL
CATHOLIC CHURCH (MNCC),
We are also in collaboration with the religious society of
a religious order devoted to Catholic restoration with a charism that everyone is called to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ and to further the message of the Kingdom of God through authentic witness and works.
We are the Catholic Church renewed!
Blessed by God
We are a society of Clergy and Laity alike, seeking to bring Christ back into the Catholic Church.
We have all the Jewels of Catholicism without the obstacles. Our founding Bishop, Carlos Duarte-Costa, who broke from the Roman Catholic Church in 1945, had a prophetic vision for a more compassionate and Christ-like Church.
The ancient Christian Churches were very national in their scope.
We feel that the mega-church structure presently in place by the Roman Catholic Church does not effectively minister to the needs of people.
Ours is a return to the ancient Christian and Apostolic ways.
We are open to all people and are driven by the motto;
"The Love of Christ Urges us ever on"
We are Dedicated To Our Mission
We are called to preach the Gospel to all the world, making disciples of every nation to spread the Good News of Salvation to all peoples. We realize the importance of reaching out to all people and to exclude no one. God's love is for all. We have made a choice to reach out to the poor, the suffering, the oppressed and those who find themselves in spiritual difficulty, just like Christ taught us to do!
We are a Church of the People for the People
We believe that the Catholic Church should be national to better serve the needs of the American People.
Under God in all that we do
We are called to live in the world. We know that life can be rough. While we live in the world, we as Christians are not of the world, but of Christ. The Church is not the building that we worship in, rather, the Church is made up of the people. We also believe that the Church should be guided by the Holy Spirit and not by money.
We are based upon ancient Christian tradition
and heritage
To show us the way we have the Gospel as a solid guidepost set firmly in the foundation of the Church. We have the Traditions and the treasures of the Early Church as well.
Among the differences we have from our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters, we have a married priesthood, allow for divorce and remarriage, allow those normally barred in other churches to receive Holy Communion, and we have general absolution at every Mass. We also believe in the Dignity of every person created in the Image and Likeness of God.
We have the Seven Sacraments and a valid
Priesthood handed down to us in unbroken succession from the Apostles
We believe the seven sacraments, instituted by
Christ, and made manifest through the Priesthood; they are Baptism,
Confirmation, Confession, the Holy Eucharist, Marriage, Holy Orders and
Anointing of the Sick.
We are filled with the Holy Spirit
With Christ as the head of the church, we are its members. We are guided by the Holy Spirit. Thus charged, we are the instruments of His Love and Gifts. We also believe that all members of the Church have an important role in God's plan for Salvation.
We are a Liturgical Church
Our prayer and worship are from the ancient
Catholic and Apostolic Church. Our prayers, are the prayers and worship
of Christians throughout the ages. The Liturgy is beautiful and truly
brings one to God's loving Presence.
We are a Servant Church
Our clergy and congregations all understand the
need of the Church to be active in the everyday lives of people. To be
supporting and a source of strength for all who need it. We believe
strongly in social justice. The Divine Physician came to heal and set
things right for all physically and spiritually.
