Originating in Ketchikan, Alaska, under the guidance of Bishop Robert Horwath, our church emerges from a vision to blend Catholic heritage with an unwavering belief in human potential. We treasure our ancestral rituals and symbolic beauty, transforming them into a powerful vehicle for promoting global unity and the flourishing of every soul.
A Journey of Faith and Service
We invite those drawn to our unique path to reach out and begin a dialogue about joining our community. We provide a supportive journey of formation for those seeking the diaconate. Furthermore, we warmly welcome existing clergy into our fold through a diligent process of mutual review, empowering all leaders to establish local missions.
Our Shared Commitment
The Humanistic Catholic Church stands as a professional and sovereign clerical body established by Bishop Robert Horwath. We are dedicated to reimagining the timeless beauty of Catholic practice through a modern lens of ethical reason and human dignity.
Living by the principle of 'Traditional Form, Humanistic Substance,' we maintain the sanctity of the Mass and the sacraments while focusing on the value of the individual. Our fellowship bridges the gap between ancient tradition and contemporary ethics, fostering an environment where spiritual heritage meets a practical commitment to healing the world.
