Sacred Heart received it's faculties from The "Catholic Charismatic Church" (CCC) located originally in Gorham, NH and has since relocated to New Haven, CT. The CCC is an independent catholic church which traces its apostolic roots through the bishops lineage back to the apostles.
It is in no way connected to The Charismatic Catholic Church, The Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada, or The Charismatic Catholic Church of America. They are all separate churches.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend both bible study and mass with us every Wednesday evening at 7:30pm
We are located in the small chapel located at 221 Arlington Road North. Our masses are warm, friendly intensive and informative.
FAQs
Q. Do you practice infant baptism?
A. Yes. The child should be baptized as early in life as possible and then lovingly raised in the Church by the parents and other relatives both physically and spiritually.
Q. Is auricular confession (telling ones sins to the priest) a necessity, or may one go before the altar and talk to God and then ask the priest for Absolution?
A. Not in the Catholic Charismatic Church. Some people feel relief in telling their sins to the priest while others are uncomfortable, so we usually have them go before the Altar and pray about their sins to God, who already knows them. Then if they are satisfied that they are at peace with themselves and God and ask for the absolution, we give it at this point without asking about what they have done.
There are also those that need to ask about certain aspects of their lives and if they are living according to the commandments of God, these may feel the need for auricular confession and do make use of it.
Q. How do you justify married clergy in the CCC ?
A. All of the Apostles, with the exception of John, were married. Also, try reading Paul's letters to Timothy (1 Tim 3:1-13) and to Titus (Titus 1:6-9).
Q. Do you ordain women to positions other than deaconess or deacon?
A. No. Jesus ordained His Apostles, all men as priests at the Mystical (Last) Supper. Read also Paul's letters 1 Tim 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-9 they refer to men as the elders / bishops.
Women are a very important part of the church, but they are not a part of the clergy and are therefore not instituted in minor orders or ordained to any of the major orders in the Catholic Charismatic Church.
