George R. Lucey, FCM, is the Presiding Bishop of the American National Catholic Church and a lifelong advocate for a Church rooted in welcome, inclusion, and mercy. With decades of pastoral experience in Canada, Mexico, Cameroon, and the United States, Bishop Lucey’s ministry reflects his deep commitment to serving those often marginalized by society and the Church. His academic journey in Sacred Theology and Divinity, combined with his Franciscan formation, has shaped his vision of a faith that combines intellectual rigor with compassionate service.

Bishop Lucey’s first book, Where Else Shall We Go, Lord?, offers a profound reflection on the transformative power of God’s love, sharing both his personal story and theological insights to guide others in deepening their relationship with Christ. He continues to serve as a chaplain in various settings, including memory care units and psychiatric hospitals, embodying the love and care he writes about in this book.
