If you like to be considered for Canonical Transfer, download and complete the application.
Canonical Transfer is open only to:
A) Lectors and Acolytes in Minor Orders and Deacon, (18 years or older and open to females also)
B) Priests (Married or unmarried males) and Bishops Celibate ( married with Ekonomia from the Patriarchal
Council with the understanding that all future bishops consecrated will be celibate).
C) Ordained in a tradition with valid lines of Apostolic Succession.
D) You do not need to be an American Citizen to apply, but will need to speak with the Bishop in charge of
your Province.
While our Patriarchal Council makes the final determination on each applicant, generally speaking we
welcome clerics from most mainline (Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran and
independent Catholic (too numerable to list).
Obviously, conformity to reception of the sacraments of Baptism and Ordination administered in the
traditional Catholic Faith manner, and faith compatibility to our Statements of Beliefs are significant criteria
for acceptance into our clergy.
The application which you may download or request to forward to you upon request should be thoroughly
and thoughtfully completed. That application and the requested documentation will need to be submitted
before the Canonical Transfer documentation as it is gathered.
