List of bishops of the Polish National Catholic Church information
Francisk Hodur - first Bishop and founder Polish National Catholic Church
This is a list of bishops of the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC), with links to the bishops who consecrated them. Despite its name, the Polish National Catholic Church is located in the US. The PNCC is not in communion with the Catholic Church. The PNCC was founded in 1897 in Pennsylvania, by Franciszek Hodur who was also the PNCC's first bishop.
The number references the sequence of consecration. "Diocese" refers to the diocese over which the bishop presided or, if he did not preside, the diocese in which he served as coadjutor bishop or auxiliary bishop. The ordinal before the diocese name represents where in the sequence that bishop falls; e.g., the fourth bishop of the Central Diocese is written "4th Central". Where a diocese is in bold type, it indicates that the bishop is the current bishop of that diocese. The consecrator listed first represents the principal consecrator.
