I wish to offer you a warm welcome to the American Catholic Church in the United States (ACCUS)!

This might be the first time that you’ve heard there are other Catholic churches besides the Roman Catholic Church.  We are in fact one of many in the Catholic family of churches and have valid orders and apostolic succession.

What sets us apart is we reject artificial barriers to the reception of the Sacraments regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or marital status.  We also seek to reach those who may have felt alienated or marginalized by their prior Institutional Roman Church experiences. 

We encourage everyone to develop a rich spirituality, centered on the Sacraments, and enhanced through the wisdom of other Christian traditions, world religions, and a variety of prayer practices. 

We highly encourage works of social justice bringing God’s love to all humankind.

If you are looking for a new spiritual home in the Bellingham WA area that is committed to the belief in the unconditional love and compassion of God that is manifest in all creation, please join us.

Peace and blessings to you,

Fr. Art
