Our Lady of High Grace - Christian Catholic Marianist Ministry

All our Theology and our Philosophy is based on two passage of the Bible, first John1:1-5, In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This one was at the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and apart from him, not one thing came into being that has come into being. In him was life, and life was the light of humanity. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

And the second on Ephesian 4: 4-6 one body and one Spirit (just as also you were called with one hope of your calling), one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. in one word CHRIST.

Canonical Hierarchy TOSF (2020) Chaplaincy (2014)

Third Order Benedictine of Our Lady of High Grace, a Holy Catholic Church of the Anglican Rite (2015) Third Order of Saint Francis Chaplaincy Charter of the Order Franciscans of the Eucharist (2022) Continuing Anglican movement, encompasses several Christian churches, principally based in North America, that have an Anglican identity and tradition but are not part of the Anglican Communion. 

Anglo-Catholicism comprises beliefs and practices that emphasize the catholic heritage and identity of the various Anglican churches.

EMMI is an autocephalous ministry (literally, "self-headed") that refers to a church whose bishop is independent and does not report to any higher human authority, yet usually remains in communion with other affiliated churches. 

The Holy Synod (Symposium) is the church's highest authority and formulates the rules and regulations regarding church organization, faith, and service order.

The principle of summoning a synod or council of ecclesiastical persons to discuss some grave question affecting the Church goes back to the beginning of the Church's history. Since the day when the Apostles met at Jerusalem to settle whether Gentile converts were to keep the Old Law (Acts 15:6–29), it had been the custom to call together such gatherings as occasion required. Bishops summoned synods of their clergy, metropolitans and patriarchs summoned their suffragans, and then, since 325, there was a succession of those most extraordinary synods, representing the whole Catholic world, known as general councils.

Autocephaly from Greek: αὐτοκεφαλία, meaning "property of being self-headed," is the status of a hierarchical Christian church whose head bishop does not report to any higher-ranking bishop. The term is primarily used in Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches. The status has been compared with the churches (provinces) within the Anglican Communion.

Justificatio sola fide (or simply sola fide), meaning justification by faith alone, is a soteriological doctrine in Christian theology commonly held to distinguish the Lutheran and Reformed traditions of Protestantism, among others, from the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian and Anabaptist churches. The doctrine asserts that it is based on faith alone that believers are made right of sin (such as their transgressions of divine law) and not based on what Paul the Apostle calls "works of the law," which sola fide proponents interpret as including not only moral, legal or ceremonial requirements but any good works or "works of charity."
