Welcome to St. Jude’s Free Catholic Parish.  We are a small, parish who believe strongly in community and affirmation of all peoples.  If you feel you have been alienated, hurt, pushed aside or just plain unwanted in other churches, then we encourage you to come and worship with us.  We are part of the Anglo Celtic Catholic Church of America.  Our Patriarch is Abp Patrick Cronk, OSB in Provinece Mass.  We adhere to the seven first Ecumenical Councils and the three Creeds.  We offer the seven sacrements and other services as the need presents itself.

Our goal is to renew the fellowship and faith of the first-century church – a time when believers gathered in homes, establishing real relationships with each other and with Christ – in an environment that is both sacramental and liturgical. Our goals include a path of continuing the doctrine and theology of the early church as well as promoting a deep and personal faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are under the protectionage of Our Lady Help of Christian Abbey.  Fr. William Higginbotham, OSB is our pastor.  We are located at 400 Green Sea Rd, Apt 603, Tabor City, NC  28463.  Our number is 910-653-3388 or in event of an extreme emergency call his cell 910 207 3687, you can email Fr. William at  ourladyhelpofchristians@gmail.com.

This spring Fr. Abbot William will be consecrated a bishop and appointed Abbot Primate of the Anglo Celtic Catholic Church of America.  The consecrating bishops will be Abbot +Patrick Cronk, Abbot +Neil Christensan, c.s.e.f. and  Mar +David Biery.
