Welcome to the Metropolitan Old Catholic Church
Grace and peace to you, and welcome to the Metropolitan Old Catholic Church.
We are an inclusive, sacramental, and Christ-centred community rooted in the ancient Catholic faith and enriched by a spirit of compassion, hospitality, and service. We seek to proclaim the Gospel in ways that are faithful to the teachings of Christ while embracing the dignity and worth of every person.
At the Metropolitan Old Catholic Church, we celebrate the seven sacraments, cherish the richness of Catholic tradition, and strive to be a place where all may encounter God's love and grace. We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life and affirm that there is a place for everyone within the Body of Christ.
Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, returning to church after time away, or seeking a spiritual home where you will be received with warmth and understanding, we invite you to journey with us.
May you find here a community of prayer, fellowship, and hope, and may God's blessings accompany you always.
Inclusivity Statement
At The Metropolitan Old Catholic Church, we believe that every person is created with inherent dignity, worth, and sacred value. We are committed to being a welcoming, affirming, and inclusive community where all people are invited to explore their spiritual journey without fear of exclusion, discrimination, or judgment.
We welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, ages, abilities, relationship statuses, gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. We affirm and celebrate LGBTQIA+ people as full and equal members of the Church and support their participation in all aspects of church life and ministry.
As a spiritual community, we seek to embody Christ's example of compassion, hospitality, justice, and love. We recognise that people come from many different life experiences and faith journeys, and we honour the diversity that enriches our community.
Whether you are deeply rooted in faith, questioning, returning to spiritual practice, or simply seeking a place of belonging, you are welcome here. We are committed to creating safe and supportive spaces where people can be authentic, find pastoral care, and grow in their relationship with the Divine and with one another.
At TMOCC, inclusion is not merely a policy, it is a reflection of our belief that God's love is for everyone, without exception.
