Welcome!
You are warmly welcomed into the life and fellowship of the Sanctuary Liberal Catholic Church
a spiritual home rooted in the ancient Catholic tradition and alive with an open, compassionate, and inclusive spirit.
We are a faith community committed to creating sacred space where all are valued, affirmed, and free to seek God without fear or exclusion. Guided by the sacramental life of the Church, we honour tradition while embracing diversity, conscience, and personal spiritual journey. Here, difference is not merely accepted — it is cherished as a reflection of the richness of God’s creation.
At the Sanctuary Liberal Catholic Church, worship is reverent and accessible, theology is thoughtful and generous, and pastoral care is grounded in dignity, mercy, and love. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life, knowing that each person brings unique gifts to the shared journey of faith.
Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time, returning to faith, or seeking a community that embodies openness and compassion, you are welcome here. May you find sanctuary, healing, and hope among us — and may our shared life be a witness to God’s boundless love in the world.

Rooted in the Catholic tradition, we affirm the full inclusion of women, LGBTQIA+ people, married clergy, and all who are called to serve.
Pastoral Care & Compassion
We commit to listening, accompaniment, and care, especially for those wounded or marginalised.
Justice, Peace & Dignity
We believe faith must be lived through justice, safeguarding, equality, and care for creation.
Integrity & Accountability
We value transparency, ethical leadership, and responsibility in all areas of church life.
Hope & Healing
