Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord celebrated at St. John the Baptist Church

The Nordic Catholic Church was established in Norway in 2000 under the auspices of the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC). We are an Old Catholic Church and, since July 2011, Member Church of the Union of Scranton.

The Nordic Catholic Church presently has parishes and communities in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Hungary, UK, France and Italy.

Bishop Roald Nikolai Flemestad remains Bishop Delegate of the Union of Scranton for Europe also after the transfer of the Nordic Catholic Diocese of Scandinavia to his successor Bishop-Elect Ottar Mikael Myrseth. He will then continue to give episcopal oversight to the work and mission of the Nordic Catholic Church in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.

The Bishop's Seal and Motto

Per timorem Domini et
sancti Spiritus consolationem.
