The Celtic Catholic Church in Canada is a  monastic residence and home-based church in communion with other Celtic Christian Churches in North America, much as the early church developed and spread throughout the middle east to the Celtic nations. and was carried by Christian immigrants to North America, Turtle Island to many of our holistic Christian brothers and sister.  By Celtic we do not mean solely a culture based on historic Celtic nation's, like preferring Iron Bru to Coca Cola,  enjoying haggis or bagpipes and kilts, but more a way of being, a spiritual, holistic, love for God, the Creator, and all things visible and invisible of creation.  We believe that since God created all things, as an artist puts something of themselves into their work, so God is in all creation.  If you have a dog, just look into their eyes; if you cannot see them as part of creation, as having the love from creation within them, maybe you are on a different path.  The Celtic church is a holistic, harmonious, way of living in Christ as taught by the earliest church .   We respect the earliest ways passed down from the apostles and while we respect all denominations, we place less emphasis on Roman additions or Protestant subtractions.  Some of us may use both Western orthodox and Liberal Catholic in our liturgies, but it is less about how your express love of God than it is THAT you have it.  At the Celtic Catholic Church, we believe in that holistic way of being, finding God in all we do through prayer and contemplation, but we also believe what the whole church has believed since the early church in the Celtic nations.  Our seminary's calling is to teach the faith while using our resources to help others learn and live a life of faith in light of Celtic holistic and communal ways of being. We are a non-profit charitable organization and do not receive any wages for our work, where any income goes to serving others, whether by providing free tuition for those who cannot afford it, or through public ministry. We let others use their resources to pay themselves and ornament great cathedrals as they wish. The way of the Brehon Laws was of community cooperation peace and social justice. 

We are one in the spirit, one in the Lord, thus we do not exclude people based on discriminatory groupings--period.  We want to help people and our communities grow in spirit, not to build brick and mortar edifices. We are like-minded people who support the ways of the early Christian church, the preservation of a sacramental and apostolic faith, Apostolic Succession, Grace in the all the sacraments, and we believe the consecrated elements of the Lord's Supper are more than merely symbolic--they are the Body and Blood of Christ as repeated and emphasized in John, chapter 6.  We believe what the whole church has believed in all time before the great schisms.   We do not argue over Crucifix versus Cross, processional cross or monstrance, letting your heart tell you that which calls to you.  We believe the church belongs in our homes, not in diverse or distant institutions, glorifying edifices while there is so much suffering in the world.  We welcome God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, into our homes and lives, preferring such over institutional detachment and occasional visitation; God in our lives, not behind closed doors to be unlocked on special occasions or office hours.

 Christianity is a way of being, not a chore done on special occasions.  Our goal, God permitting, is to bring the church back into our homes and lives where she started--the Church is not a place to go, it is a way to live, the spirit in which we live.
