St. Ignatius of Antioch Parish was established in 1989 by Bishop Judd. Upon Bishop Judd's consecration as a Bishop and the opening of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish here in St. Paul, the parish began a specialized ministry and was referred to as St. Ignatius Center. 

At St. Ignatius, Bishop Judd and Msgr. Carl Rosen provide spiritual care for the elderly, and promote interfaith and nondenominational religious instruction and training through courses, seminars, retreats, and guided tours to holy places. Msgr. Rosen is the chaplain for the Heartland Old Catholic Church.

To learn about the services of St. Ignatius Center, contact Bishop Judd.

Directions to the Church of Saint Anthony.

Msgr. Tony comes to us by way of the St. John the Beloved Diocese of Washington, DC.  He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Charles Braun.  Because Msgr. Tony lives in Saint Paul, Bishop Charlie has assigned him to work in the Holy Cross Diocese of Minnesota. 

Msgr. Tony, as a permanent deacon and more recently as a priest, has served in parishes for more than 25 years.  We all benefit greatly from his experiences.  

Msgr. Tony is full of energy and always on the go.  He works closely with Msgr. Bigelow and Bishop Judd.  Msgr. Tony, we think, has a special gift and calling.  It is not uncommon for him to conduct three and four funerals a week.  He meets the needs of families before, during, and after the services. Msgr. Tony will serve his new community of St. Anthony with the same dedication and enthusiasm.

Chaplaincy of 
Msgr. Thomas D. Knopf-Bigelow

Maple Grove, MN

Monsignor Thomas' ministry is both local and international in scope.  Without a doubt he is the knight-errant of the Heartland Old Catholic Church. 

His work includes providing investigative support to a group reuniting Salvadoran families separated by that country's civil war.  He provides financial support for an orphanage in Vietnam.  He also serves as chaplain to the Ramsey County (Minnesota) Sheriff's Department.  

In this last role, he provides moral support and counsel to all sworn officers and civilian employees alike. As part of those duties, he assists deputies in death notifications throughout the county and, when necessary, the metro area, be that going to the scene itself, to the family, or both. He also responds to major fire scenes as well as a variety of other emergencies. Monsignor Thomas is one of nine chaplains serving Ramsey County.  

Monsignor Thomas is Pastor Emeritus of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church (Saint Paul, MN).  He was founder of the Société des Clercs de St. Jean-Marie Vianney, a confraternity of chaplainsHe served as the Société's préfet until its dissolution in 2006 when Heartland affiliated with an organization with its own society of chaplains.  He also sits on the Board of Directors for both Cornerstone Old Catholic Church and the Heartland Old Catholic Church. In addition, he is currently the Secretary to the Bishop of the Holy Cross Diocese of Minnesota, Heartland Old Catholic Church.

His colorful life of service has been recognized with Ramsey County's "Chaplain of the Year" award.  It is also captured in his book In The Eye of the Beholder: Five True Stories With a Wink, a Nod, and a Tear (St. Cloud, MN:  North Star Press of St. Cloud, Inc.), 2004.

Saint Johns Institute in 
Pastoral Ministries

The Saint Johns Institute in Pastoral Ministries (SJIPM) was established to serve individuals of all ages who aspire to become deacons and priests within the Old Catholic Church, and also for educationally motivated Old Catholic lay adults.  Our programs in pastoral ministries strive:

  • to equip participants with a deep understanding of Old Catholic doctrines, corresponding Christian theologies, and pastoral practices that clarify the Gospel for our culture and promote the care of persons in our Church;
  • to demonstrate academic practices of inquiry, discovery, and reflection for professional servants in the Old Catholic Church and church-related organizations; and,
  • to inspire attitudes and skills that are compatible with Old Catholic ministerial service, especially facilitating personal transformation in Christ, building faith-community, and developing a pastoral presence grounded in awareness of one's gifts and limitations as a minister.
