Rooted in
apostolic ministry.

Our sacramental life is rooted in apostolic succession and lived in relationship with other bishops and jurisdictions.

Guided by The Right Reverend Ashley R. Deutschmann, Bishop-Rector, the Mission is shaped by the rhythms of the early Church: reverent, welcoming and centred on Christ’s presence in the sacraments and the people who gather to receive them.
