The American Catholic Church in the United Sates (ACCUS) is not under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church, we are an autonomous Rite of the Catholic Church, and as such, we are not subject to the Roman laws and regulations.  This frees us to be more pastoral and sacramental to the People of God.  Yet we affirm traditional Catholic beliefs of faith and love, spirituality, community and prayer.  We celebrate the seven sacraments and adhere to the essential Catholic doctrine and practice as expressed and implied in the statements of Vatican Council II, and in the light of the best contemporary thought.

Our Mission is to follow the example of its Patron Saint, St. Francis of Assisi, in his prayer of peace:

 

 

Lord; make the people of this Church an instrument of your peace;

Where there is hatred, let us so love

Where there is injury, let us pardon

Where there is doubt, let us show faith

Where there is despair, let us offer hope

Where there is darkness, let us bring light

And where there is sadness, let us bring joy.

We ask the Divine Master, to grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console others;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we will receive, it is in pardoning, that we will be pardoned, and it is in dying that we will be born to eternal life.
