We are an independent catholic church celebrating  50 years of service to God. 

Our clergy and churches are open to all and fully accepting, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.  We are a true catholic church, offering a diversity of worship geared to the personal needs of our members.

If you love the beauty and poetry of traditional liturgical worship, but feel the need for modern non-exclusive theology, please take the time to investigate the links above.

We are actively seeking to expand our presence in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Ohio, and The District of Columbia.

If you feel the call to become clergy, we can offer on line spiritual formation through the Sophia Divinity School, the largest independent catholic seminary in the United States.

If you are active or retired clergy and searching for new spiritual direction, please contact us. If you are a lay person interested in the formation of a church or prayer group in your area, we would love to hear from you.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments you may have.  Our email address is +tomdavid@coasoutheast.org

If you are not in one of the states listed above, please still feel free to contact us in Richmond, or you may direct your questions to one of our many member churches.
