The Polish-Catholic Church in United Kingdom (Polish: Kościół Polskokatolicki w Wielkiej Brytanii) is a Polish Old Catholic church in United Kingdom registered under number SC594199.[1]
History[]
The Polish-Catholic Church in Great Britain was initiated by the faithful from the Polish-Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Glasgow in April 2018, who wanting to avoid disputes between the authorities of the Old Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland to which they belonged, decided to establish a church in Great Britain. The church currently has only one parish, two chapels and a group of believers of the Belarusian language. Bishop Andrew Hall was chosen as the church's superior on April 12, 2018. He embraced this position until July 31, 2018.[2]
