The Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC) is a Christian denomination that traces its origins to the 19th century, when a group of Polish immigrants in the United States sought to create a church that reflected their cultural and religious traditions. The PNCC is sometimes referred to as the Polish Catholic Church or the Polish National Church. Other synonyms for the PNCC include the Polish Catholic National Church, the National Catholic Church of America, and the Polish Independent Catholic Church. Regardless of the name used, the PNCC remains committed to promoting the values and teachings of the Catholic faith from a distinctly Polish perspective.
