Holy Family Catholic Church Malibu – Mel Gibson built his own church near Malibu – the Holy Family Traditional Catholic Church – which follows 16th century Catholicism.

Mel Gibson’s church sits on 11 acres off scenic Mulholland Drive and the entrance into the Holy Family Traditional Catholic Church is controlled by a guarded gate.

Controlled by the AP Reilly Foundation, a foundation created by Gibson upon the death of his mother, Ann Reilly-Gibson, in 1997.

Gibson’s secretive sect is not recognised by the Roman Catholic Church because it does not acknowledge the authority of the Pope or the Vatican and rejects the universally accepted teachings of the Second Vatican Council.

The Holy Family Traditional Catholic Church – which offers a daily morning mass in Latin – follows an antiquated ideology of Catholicism dating back to the 16th century.

The church serves roughly 70 families and has assets of $42 million, all donated by Mel Gibson to the AP Reilly foundation run by Mel and his wife Robin.

Female followers of Gibson’s church must abide by a strict dress code, which requires them to wear veils over their hair and long skirts, with pants not allowed for women.

The church was the venue for the wedding of Gibson’s only daughter Hannah, who was walked down the aisle by her father in a private ceremony – reportedly conducted entirely in Latin – in September, 2006.

Gibson reportedly started building the church years ago for his father, Hutton Gibson, an avowed Holocaust denier and racist.

The church is located on 30188 W. Mulholland Highway, between Sierra Creek and Kanan roads in Agoura Hills, Calif., abutting Malibu and Calabasas.

And that’s the latest news on Mel Gibson’s church, aka the Holy Family Catholic Church Malibu.
