The American National Catholic Theological Institute is excited to announce a new initiative directed primarily toward lay members of the Church: short two or three-session minicourses presenting topical discussions of interest to the laity. Although not intended as an academic class, minicourses are conversational and engage religious and spiritual topics of general interest.
Fr. Joseph Harmon, the Institute’s Rector, is pleased to see this new development directed toward the laity because it fulfills part of the Institute’s mission to be a resource to the ANCC laity. The program is under the direction of Fr. Kerry Walters and anyone, clergy or lay, interested in presenting a minicourse is encouraged to contact him: kwalters@anccmail.org.
The first minicourse, offered primarily in Spanish, is about Monsignor Oscar Romero. More information and registration links are below.
On Saturday, January 11, 2025, the Most Rev. George R. Lucey, FCM, Presiding Bishop of the American National Catholic Church (ANCC), ordained seminarian James Conti to the sacred order of Deacon. Deacon Jim is now the second active Deacon in the ANCC. Deacon Jim is a transitional deacon and is pictured with Bishop George and Rev Deacon Mary Hurley, a permanent Deacon.
