Richard George Roy is an American Independent Catholic bishop. He is Archbishop and Primate of the National Catholic Church of America, established in 1998. The Church grew from the Order of Saint John the Divine, founded in 1994.
The biography on his jurisdiction's website reads: "The ministry of prime leadership for The National Catholic Church of America is exercised by our Founder, The Most Reverend Richard G. Roy, OSJD, who was elected Primate of the Church by the original clergy and laity and who also serves as Abbot of The Order Of Saint John the Divine. In addition to Old Catholic and Orthodox lines of Apostolic Succession, Archbishop Roy also received the Apostolic Lines of Carlos Duarte Costa, the late Roman Catholic Bishop of Botucatu, Brazil, who formed an independent Catholic church in the late 1940’s. Archbishop Roy has been active in AIDS ministry, serves a Retreat Director at The Priory of Saint Aelred of Riveaulx in Northville, NY, and serves as Pastor of Holy Trinity National Catholic Church in Albany, NY, where he makes his home with Brother Stephen K.
