One of the Ancient Christian Churches

Founded in 37AD, it radiated across Europe, remaining faithful to its tradition and its spirituality during the first twelve centuries of the Christian era.

Restored in 1866, the Celtic Church has rediscovered its very riche heritage. The Celtic Church is one of the oldest in the Christian world. By tradition it was founded by Saint Joseph of Arimathea in 37AD, in Britain, in a place which is now called Glastonbury. In 63AD, another disciple, Saint Aristobulos also came to the British Isles. In six centuries, all the British Isles were to be Christianised.

This church, which spread across much of the Romano-Byzantine Empire, kept the freshness of the apostolic Church. She was free of all temporal power, poor and extraordinarily dynamic with numerous monasteries. From Ireland to Scotland, Brittany and to the boarders of Europe, thousands of Celtic monks carried a spirituality which, following the first fathers of the West, were a glory in the first millennium of the Christian era. We can recall these great names from her history: Patrick, Brigit, Columba, Brendan, Samson, Amand, Fare, Columban and many others.
