Welcome to our website! I hope that you take time to view our pages and read the information found here regarding our Diocese as well as some information and history about Old Catholics. We also hope you take time to visit the website of The Old Catholic Communion of North America (OCCNA) to which we belong.
For your general information the Old Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit is an Independent Old Catholic Diocese not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church , yet it still celebrates the same sacraments. The Old Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, while Orthodox in its beliefs and theology, believes that the first and foremost the Church should be a place of healing and comfort where seekers come to encounter Christ and as such our sacraments, including Holy Communion are open to all baptized Christians regardless of their particular denomination or tradition. (see beliefs and frequently asked questions)
Should you decide to worship with us you will discover that our liturgy is a blend of Roman, Anglican, and Old Catholic rites and our parishes are made up of disciples that come together as family in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers. (Acts 2:42)
In addition we are currently seeking mature adults who feel a call to Holy Orders (Deacon, Priest) and/or those already ordained that are seeking to incardinate. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments.
Rt. Rev. Michael Nesmith, D.D.
181 Baywood Lane Monticello, AR. 71655 (870) 367-3208
