Old Catholic History

Holy Trinity belongs to a growing communion of  Historically Orthodox Old Catholic Churches that believe and practice the Apostolic, Orthodox Catholic faith of the ancient, undivided Church.

It has the same heritage as

  • the Eastern Catholic Churches (Eastern Orthodox) and
  • the Western Catholic Church (Roman Catholic)

but it is ecumenical in that it believes in working closely with all Christians to introduce Jesus Christ to our modern/post modern world.

The Old Catholic Church
Within the Old Catholic communion, Holy Trinity Old Catholic Church is a member church of the Province of St. Thomas in the Old Catholic Communion of North America.  It's bishops and priests, as in most biblical and historical Catholic churches have been ordained in apostolic succession.  Bishop Robert W. Burgess traces his succession directly back to St Thomas the Apostle.
