Inter-Communion Relationships and Ministry Partners

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither
slave nor free, there is no male and female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus


Galatians 3:28 

 Inter-Communion Relationships

The CACINA Catholic Church is working for Christian unity because we have been called by God to a Church united, not divided. In seeking to discern God's will, we are convinced, unexpectedly, that God has called and continues to call us to this ministry.

The CACINA Catholic Church is working for Christian Unity because at the Last Supper Jesus explicitly called his disciples to be one. [Jn 17:21]. This call is echoed in the epistles of St. Paul. We pray for unity in our Eucharistic communities, throughout the world.

Please note that only independent Catholic jurisdictions listed on this page are in full communion with CACINA.  Please contact Fr. Victor Ray, CACINA's Ecumenical Officer at (800) 603-0644 ext. 709, if your jurisdiction would like to begin conversations about an inter-communion agreement.
