Welcome to the
Traditional Old Anglo-Catholic Church
WHOLLY CATHOLIC FAITH IN THE ANGLICAN RITE

The TOACC is a historical community of the Catholic Faith in the Anglican Tradition! Stemming from its Metropolitan See, the Archdiocese of the Southwest, it operates worldwide to spread the missionary Gospel of the pilgrim Church. Blessed with the gift of autonomy and independence in spiritual unity with His Holiness, Benedict XVI, we work to exemplify the example of our Lord through the Charism of the Holy Spirt and the Intercessions of Our Lady in the daily advance of spiritual discipleship as our Anglican Catholic Faithful advance in their daily walk with Christ!

Free from the constraints of traditional jurisdiction and political intrigue, our authority originates in Christ Jesus, in unbroken Apostolic Succession from St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles and includes the fullness of Anglican and Roman Catholic succession. Though independent, we recognize the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome, successor to the See of St. Peter, as First Among Equals of all Catholic Bishops in unity world-wide.

We maintain traditional Rites, practices, and celebrations. Our Worship, in English or Latin, is Sanctified in the Letter and Spirit of the Church Councils expressing the wisdom and understanding of Our Church Fathers in the Revelation of the Faith. The 2010 Book of Common Prayer is now released, providing the Anglican Catholic Faithful with a single source for active participation in Christian Worship.

We invite you to worship with us, pray with us, and work with us to actively spread the Gospel of Our Lord. We are presently in a growth phase and have a missionary nature. If you are a man of learning, married or single, and are contemplating the ministry, please visit our vocations ministry by following the link below.

ANGLICAN LATIN MASS

HOW TO SAY MASS
IN THE ANGLICAN RITE
by
Archbishop Rutherford Johnson, PhD

"What a tremendous help this would have been 20 years ago when I was teaching liturgics for St. George's Seminary and renovating an old Disciples church for use at St. Gabriel's. For that matter, could have used it 50 years ago when I was acolyte warden for a large parish in Oklahoma... I relied a lot on another source, but this has a lot of the same info in an easier-to-decipher format!"

- The Very Rev. John Vornholt, Dean Emeritus

This book, representing over a decade of work, was written with the intent of providing a concise and complete resource for Anglo-Catholic clergy. Grounded in the history and tradition of the liturgy of the Church, How to Say Mass in the Anglican Rite contains hundreds of diagrams and drawings. Included are detailed guides for low mass, high mass, and sung mass, both celebrated by a priest and by a bishop. Also in this book are guides for requiem masses, nuptial and ordination masses, and the rites of Holy Week (all with diagrams). Notes on what to do when celebrating without a server or when celebrating alone are included. This book is written with the intent of helping all clergy grow in their love of liturgy as a means of conveying spiritual truth to the faithful and helping them grow in their spiritual journey.
