Welcome to the English speaking Mission of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, part of the Gallican Church under the auspices of the Gallican Apostolic Union.
Catholic - Gallican - Celtic
A trinitarian and sacramental church by its faith, traditions and participation but Gallican by nature.
The Gallican Apostolic Union is a gathering of Communities, Missions, Priests, and faithful wishing to unite in a simple way around a common Profession of Faith, the celebration of the non-Roman Western Liturgy known as the Gallican Liturgy.
It is a piece of the Universal Church bathed in the light of the Transfigured Christ.
Catholic
The Gallican Church is catholic, in the greek sense of “katholikos”, as She is welcoming of all christians and seekers that we may enjoin ourselves in christian community, and together enter into communion with the Gospel of Christ.
Gallican
Gallicanism in so far as we maintain the independent and free liberties of the early Gaulish (French) Roman Catholic church, seeking not to build towering ecclesiological structure but to exist amongst the people, parishes and the needy.
The Gallican Church is not the gatekeeper of God’s light, but tasked with bringing God’s people to Christ so they may dwell in His compassion.
Celtic
The Gallican Church partakes in the spirit of Celtic monasticism and the early Celtic communities.
It was the early Celtic monastics that formed small and loosely organised communities from which we see later when the Celtic monks evangelised in early France.
Like the northern communities of the British Isles, the praise and worship through the cycles liturgical of the liturgical calendar are in accord with passing seasons, and the ebbs and flows of our lives enabling us to direct all our effort’s to glorify His name.
