Thank you for visiting our pages.
The Celtic Orthodox Church is a Western Rite expression of the
Faith from the Johannine Branch of Christianity of
those churches founded by the twelve apostles, (Gallican, Celtic, Mozabarec, Coptic, Byzantine.) The Roman Catholic Church is from the Pauline
branch of the Church.
CELTIC ORTHODOXY ESTABLISHED IN 37 AD IS THE
OLDEST WESTERN RITE ORTHODOX CHURCH
Sunday Mass at 8:30 A.M.
To visit with the Pastor or
arrange a visit to the Chapel
call 419.206.2190 for an appointment.
Ancient it
demands respect, so
Traditional it
is refreshing and so
Conservative it
is reassuring

Daily praying the Scriptures
is part of the faith as once delivered to
the Saints.
(Bishop Brian J. Kennedy, O.S.B.)
“IGNORANCE OF SCRIPTURE IS
IGNORANCE OF JESUS CHRIST”
(Saint Jerome)
Soul saving repentance is not possible
apart from praying the Scriptures, as the Scriptures in a unique way convict us
of sin. Through the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit speaks to our heart, soul and
mind of the need for repentance and through the Word of God blesses us with the
grace of conversion leading to salvation in Christ.
Without the Scriptures it is impossible
to know Jesus or understand the power of God.
The Spirit in the words of Scriptures
reverberates in the heart creating a closer union with Christ and through
Christ with the Father. This “Synergy
with the Father in Christ” is the product of the Holy Spirit and can only come
to fruition through the abiding presence of the Word of God.
Christ continues to bring the love of
the Father to His people and reveal His own love for us from the Tabernacle on
the Altar. Christ continues to be our Savior, our Redeemer, our life, our
sweetness and our hope. From the Tabernacle on the Altar Christ ALONE remains
the gate of Heaven, the SOLE arbiter and dispenser of all God’s Graces and
gifts; The Mediator of all graces. We are healed by the Sacred Wounds of
Christ, we are redeemed by His Precious Blood and we are made clean by His
spoken word. It is impossible to be
sealed in the Blood of the Lamb without also experiencing the spoken Word of
God by which we are made clean.
“THE SCRIPTURES AND THE MASS
ARE THE TWIN PILLARS UPON WHICH
REST OUR HOPE FOR SALVATION”
(Bishop Brian J. Kennedy, O.S.B.)
The Vatican Library records the history of theCeltic Orthodox Churchhttp://www.celticorthodoxchurch.com/history.htmlOur worship is centered on Christ truly present in the Eucharisthttp://www.celticorthodoxchurch.com/eucharist.htmlCeltic Orthodox Benedictine are “TRUE” Benedictinehttp://www.celticorthodoxchurch.com/diurnal2.htmlWe do not pray to the dead or believe we cancommunicate with the dead at will

Like all parishes and Monasteries of the Celtic Orthodox Church
in the United States, Holy Trinity Celtic Orthodox Church is a traditional
Western Rite community focused on Christ present in the Eucharist.
Celtic Orthodox Christians are expected to live as a people
called apart by God to be His own. People of God are
prayer warriors, men and women of prayer.
People do not plan to fail they just fail to plan. This is dangerous in worldly affairs but it
is tragic in spiritual matters. The Priest will work with each individual to
develop a spiritual plan that will enable the individual man or woman to carry
the Cross after Jesus. Celtic Orthodoxy
does not try to remove the Cross but give you the strength to carry the Cross
together with Christ our Savior.
Our "church buildings" are usually a converted house or
a storefront or a small building someplace. We have no Cathedrals or large
churches. All our communities are small and everybody knows everybody. There is
no such thing as being alone. Soon new
members feel at home and are friends with everybody else. The Priest is accessible directly. There are no office hours. This makes us
unique.
The Priest has dedicated his life to prayer, study of Scripture,
administering the Sacraments and daily offering the Divine Sacrifice of the
Mass. Our focus is on worshipping the Father in spirit and in truth, not on big
buildings. Our focus is on synergy with
the Father in Christ, not on what the world thinks of us.
