The Worldwide Communion of Catholic Apostolic Churches (WCCAC) is a communion of several Independent Catholic bodies. The communion was born at the VI Worldwide Council held in Guatemala. WCCAC is the result of a long path, started by Dom Carlos Duarte Costa who in 1945 organized the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church. The communion has as symbols of its unity Dom Luis Fernando Castillo Méndez, who served until his death in October 2009 as Patriarch of ICAB and WCCAC. At the present time Archbishop Jerry King is the president and Archbishop John Parnell is the chancellor and vice president.
