Denise Donato was ordained a priest in the Spiritus Christi Community by a bishop of the Old Catholic Church in 2003. This 1,000+ member community describes itself as “a Christ-centered Catholic community reaching beyond the institutional church to be inclusive of all.” Come hear their story, and explore what it means here in St. Louis.

Of course, the 1000+ member community can describe itself anyway it wishes - however, "Catholic" it is not.

How is it even possible to "reach beyond" the institutional Church? This suggests that there is a 'truth' which the Church does not recognize or possess...The more likely statement would be that it is a lost community which is hopelessly groping in the dark for any truths within reach. However, as one moves farther and farther from the light of Truth, one discovers in the increasing darkness a diminishing of support, reason, virtue, goodness, etc.

May our Lord grants us the graces and blessings needed to return to Him and follow Him as He desires.
