All are Welcome in this Place.

      Let us build a house where love can dwell and can safely live,

a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.

Our Lady’s & St Sebastian’s Apostolic Catholic Church is a Christian community rooted in the teachings and traditions of the Early and Medieval Church. At the same time, it affirms the primacy of individual conscience, free thought, interpretation, and inquiry in all matters of faith and belief.

We are part of the Independent Sacramental Tradition. That means our church is autocephalous—self-governing and not under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church. Still, we are fully and faithfully Catholic. Our sacramental ministry, theology, and apostolic succession are valid and unbroken, tracing directly back to the apostles. We’re part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, even though we are not in communion with Rome.

Instead, Our Lady’s & St Sebastian's ACC have active parishes in Wirral, Yorkshire, and London.
And is in communion with several like-minded bodies, including the Église Catholique Libérale Unie (Uganda) and the Nicene Apostolic Church (England). We have active parishes in Wirral, Yorkshire, and London.

The Church honours the foundational teachings of the Undivided Church. We uphold the decisions of the first seven Ecumenical Councils as well as the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), whose reforms help shape our contemporary approach to faith and ministry. Our theology is grounded in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed—historic summaries of the faith we share with the wider Catholic tradition.
We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We recognize the pope as the bishop of Rome and respect his role as “first among equals” among bishops. However, we do not accept the doctrine of papal infallibility. Members are free to accept or reject any doctrine declared ex cathedra.

The Eucharist is central to our worship. We celebrate it with reverence and in line with the intention of the universal Church. We affirm the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist—because Christ promised to be present whenever people gather in His name. Belief in transubstantiation is respected but not required; we make space for a range of theological understandings within the bounds of the Catholic tradition.

The Patriarch of Our Lady’s & St Sebastian’s Apostolic Catholic Church is His Eminence, Cardinal Kieran Thomas O’Neill, MStJ, KGC, DD, OSB.
At its heart, our Church seeks to live out the sacredness of Christian life—within each soul and out in the world—faithfully, freely, and with deep respect for the mystery and grace of God.
