The OCCNA is established to provide spiritual continuity among all clergy in the OCCNA and apostolic succession which is deemed necessary by the clergy in the OCCNA to provide valid Sacraments to the faithful. As such the sole duty of the OCCNA is to act to the best of its ability to insure that all clergy comply with the canons of the OCCNA. The Old Catholic Communion of North America (OCCNA) is an Old Catholic Church divided into two Provinces. The Province of the West which encompasses all states of the United States in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Time Zones. The Province of the East which encompasses all states of the United States in the Eastern and Central Time Zones. More provinces may be added as needed based on growth.¹

^{1 . Each Parish, Mission, and Individual Ministry (herein called Ministry) is fully owned and operated by the Ministry and not the OCCNA. Each Ministry is responsible for complying with all Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations. Each Ministry is solely responsible for any and all legal actions against the Ministry and as such the OCCNA requires each Ministry incorporate in the state in which it is located and recommends procuring all necessary insurance to protect its property and actions of the Ministry.}
