AS CATHOLICS, WE ARE FAMILY
Order and harmony of the created world results from diversity of beings and from relationships which exist among them.

Pastor Holy Name of Mary |
Holy Name of Mary Catholic Chapel, nestled in the Endless Mountains, is an inclusive broadcast mission in the Old Roman Catholic tradition. We are grateful to be family with all Catholics and people of goodwill who declare: Jesus is Lord! As a canon priest in the Society of Mercy, our pastor, Father Daniel, seeks to minister the love of Jesus and Mary to all people of all backgrounds who earnestly seek God's grace.
As a community we strive to follow the pastoral guidance of Pope Francis for all Catholics, of various jurisdictions and traditions, to, "support and encourage one another, especially at the level of parishes and local communities." Our Bishop William Myers reminds us that: "We descend from the Church of Utrecht and the Old Roman Catholic tradition (which) is centered on the primacy of a well-formed conscience. We offer the sacraments reverently and minister to all who have need while providing mercy to those who feel abandoned."
Therefore, we invite all of Mary's baptized children of goodwill who genuinely seek the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, sacramentally or spiritually, to participate faithfully in our Chapel community; regardless of race, nationality, age, gender or gender expression, sexuality, marital status, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, or other blessed diversities.
The Old Roman Catholic Church and the Society of Mercy exist to preserve Christian tradition while respecting personal conscience. Our Catholic jurisdiction holds Apostolic Succession, continuing the faith of the Apostles, while responding to the pastoral needs of modern people. Holy Name of Mary welcomes Christians, Catholics, and all seekers of Christ, who are divorced or members of the LGBTQ+ community to join us in our faith journey with the Virgin Mary and all the saints.
We primarily broadcast the Third Edition Roman Rite, promulgated by the Holy See, facilitating common liturgy among all American Catholics. Old Roman Catholics, according to our venerable tradition, also celebrate the Tridentine Liturgy, or Latin Mass, in the vernacular. We recognize and affirm the holiness of the world's many Christian worship rites: Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Coptic Christian, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant.
