CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE EAST - ARCHDIOCESE OF SAINT JAMES THE APOSTLE
Plant A Church with us:


Preach the Gospel.The apostle Paul gathered believers by preaching the Gospel, “Almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord (Acts 13:44).  Today, our culture tells us that we don’t need to preach and talk about the Gospel, but it truly is the most important thing that all people need to hear and believe.


Are you a believer of Jesus Christ and have a vision for the mission of Christ to plant a Church that is within the body of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. 


It is our prayer that the Catholic Church of the East may be a home for those who wish to worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth.

 We believe that the Sacrifice of the Mass is a “making present” of Jesus’ One Sacrifice, once offered, forever.  Jesus’ Sacrifice is made present on the altar, and, as such, the Mass may be spoken of as a Sacrifice. 

 We affirm that the Holy Eucharist is the principal service of the church and that its celebration is commanded by the Lord. 

 We maintain the seven sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church and submit to the authority of the Sacred Scriptures and the Traditions established by the Apostles. 

 We welcome the move of the Holy Spirit in our church, through the exercise of our spiritual gifts.  We believe they are given by Christ to the Church for the building up of His Body and for the edification of its members.
