St. Frances Cabrini Old Catholic Mission is part of the North American Ecumenical Catholic Church. We are one of many Catholic churches who comprise the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church through out the world.   We are a Catholic faith community with ministries across America who support the People of God by way of sacraments, education, hospital ministry, and others that are in the process of forming. As clergy we are young and old, experienced and in formation, married and single.   The NACEC sees the opportunity of welcoming any person who is or wants to be Catholic into a church that is open and welcoming to people of different gifts, strengths, charism, backgrounds, orientations, challenges, and mindsets. Do we want to be everything for everybody all the time? Well, yes. But as nice as that sounds for a brochure or sound bite on an advertisement, we know we can’t be all those. As clergy and as people we know what it is like to be disenfranchised from parishes, churches, and ministries. We know what it is like to be hurt in the name of God and Our Lord. And we don’t want that to happen to anyone else. 

The NACEC is part of the Old Catholic/Independent Catholic tradition and movement in the United States, and throughout the world. If you are a priest or cleric looking for a church or an individual looking for a church to call your home, let us know. As a church body we are open to clerics of good standing wanting the freedom to develop your own mission, and to provide an umbrella of networking for your priesthood. For those looking for a home parish that is open and welcoming, if we don’t have a priest or ministry in your area we may be able to assist you to contact one. Our reward in knowing that the People of God are served.
