OUR SYMBOL
The symbol of the Polish National Catholic Church summarizes in its outward form the substance of Christianity.
THE BOOK - represents the revealed Word of God.
THE SUN - is the sign of religious freedom and fervor.
THE CROSS - is the mark of suffering and consecration for others.
THE PALM - is the symbol of well-earned peace.
We are to incorporate these Christian principles in our lives by "Truth, Work and Struggle."
What is the Polish National Catholic Church?
It is a Catholic and Apostolic Church, preserving the faith of the Apostles and having apostolic succession with an unbroken line of bishops from the Apostles of Jesus Christ, to the present day bishops and priests.
IT IS A CATHOLIC CHURCH - rooted in Scripture, based on tradition and accepting the decisions of the first Seven Councils of the undivided Church.
IT IS AN APOSTOLIC CHURCH - preserving the Apostolic Succession and teachings of the Apostles.
IT IS A SACRAMENTAL CHURCH- which acknowledges Seven Sacraments: Baptism and Confirmation, The Word of God Penance, Holy Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, Matrimony.
IT IS A WELCOMING CHURCH - our doors are open to all. Jesus Christ called all to be His followers. He said: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20) Everyone is welcome.
IT IS A RESPONSIVE CHURCH - meeting the religious needs of our faithful through Mass, the Sacraments and other services and their social needs through various service organizations.
IT IS A TEACHING CHURCH - having Communion and Confirmation classes for children and teens, a Sunday School to teach the faith. We also offer annual diocesan youth retreats and national youth convocations for our young people.
IT IS A DEMOCRATIC CHURCH - clergy and church members meet together at local, diocesan and national synods (conventions). Each parish sends elected delegates and their pastors, to decided church policies. Individual parishes are governed by a parish committee that is elected annually by the parishioners. This committee, together with the pastor, oversees the management of the parish.
IT IS AN ECUMENICAL CHURCH - cooperating with other churches to make our community a better place in which to live. At this time official dialogue is established between representatives of Anglican, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches and the Polish National Catholic Church.
IT IS A COUNSELING CHURCH - we are available to help people who are having personal, spiritual or family problems. Parishioners offer moral and spiritual support.
IT IS A WORSHIPPING CHURCH - regular Mass attendance is encouraged on Sundays and holy days of obligation. Other Services also call us to give praise and honor to God.
