The North American Old Roman Catholic Church

There Shall Be A Highway for the remnant of God's people, which shall be left, out of Babylon. Isaiah 11:16

Born of pain and ashes. A healing place. Created by wounded healers in the power of the Holy Spirit.With an amazing variety of theological leanings, and intimately small faith communities and Home Churches . This is the Old Roman Catholic Church.

We are contempary for the "thing" that holds the Old Roman Catholic Church" together, is the modern idea that, rituals are to movements, what words are to sounds, they give them meaning. And traditional, because of a rich and colorful historic apostolic succession..

A dancing procession takes place annually on Whit Tuesday, in honor of St. Willibrord.Legends are referred to that relate to the dancing procession to averted plague and offer a fable about a condemned fiddler,(According to legend, the tune they dance to was played on a fiddle by a medieval thief. Granted a final wish before his execution he asked to play his violin in the town marketplace. The tune was so lively that it set the people dancing and in all the confusion he was able to slip away and so escaped his sentence. The dancing procession to the saint's tomb is an annual ceremony done as an act of penance on behalf of afflicted relations and especially in order to avert epilepsy, St. Vitus's dance, or convulsions.Three steps forward are taken, then two back, so that five steps are required in order to advance one pace. . They go four or five abreast, holding each other by the hand or arm. Many bands accompany them, playing the traditional melody which has been handed down for centuries. Stay tune for a study of Orthodoxy.
