St. Teresa of Calcutta and the ANCC are a contemporary expression of an ancient faith. There is a firm commitment to the sacraments, and we embrace the 2nd edition translation of the mass of Vatican II that is revered by so many in the Americas.
We are also guided by the Spirit as a community which embraces a broader faith where all are welcomed and affirmed. We understand the importance of loving and supporting each other, while continually challenging ourselves to embrace the Gospel calling of Jesus Christ.
As members of the American National Catholic Church, we are part of a community that embraces both the rich tradition of Catholic faith and the call to be inclusive, compassionate, and justice-oriented in today's world. Our church has a unique role in witnessing to the fullness of the Gospel, offering a home to those that have felt marginalized or excluded in other settings. We affirm the dignity of all people, and this commitment shapes our mission to be a welcoming, inclusive Church.
