WHAT WE ARE --
We are Sunday’s Bread Inclusive Catholic Worship Community Association (SBICWCA), incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and classified as a Nonprofit 501(c)3 by the US Internal Revenue Service. In daily casual conversation we simply say “Sunday’s Bread Community”.
WHAT WE ARE NOT --
While many within Sunday’s Bread Inclusive Catholic Worship Community Association (SBICWCA) personally identify as Roman Catholic people, SBICWCA has no legal relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. This is consistent with current Canon Law. We do draw from Roman Catholic ritual and faith tradition.
