Pope Francis modifies the Complmentary Norms...

Image
From The Ordinariate Website:   LATEST NEWS FROM THE ORDINARIATE   Pope Francis puts evangelisation at heart of Ordinariate Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Pope Francis has approved a significant amendment to the Complementary Norms which govern the life of the Personal Ordinariates established under the auspices of  Anglicanorum Coetibus . On 31 May 2013, the Holy Father made a modification to Article 5 of the Norms, in order to make clear the contribution of the Personal Ordinariates in the work of the New Evangelisation.

Walsingham Annual Ordinariate Pilgrimage 22 June

Image
Thanks to our own Monsignor Edwin Barnes   -  From his site Ancient Richborough a report on the Bournmouth Group's stay at Walsingham last weekend: Thenne longen folk to go on pilgrimage... Not Aprille, as in Chaucer's Tales, though the weather was showery and springlike when the Ordinariate went home to Walsingham for our summer Pilgrimage. From the Bournemouth Mission we were more than thirty, including a number of Catholics from local parishes and an Anglican or two. Emphasising our ecumenical (not to say evangelistic) role, we were mostly lodged at the Anglican shrine. It looks very romantic by moonlight, hence the first picture in today's blog. We had travelled the 200 plus miles by coach on Saturday, so we were ready for anything on Saturday morning. The interior of the Catholic church of Reconciliation is lit by very orange lamps, so I gave up on trying to photograph it either before or during Mass. We celebrated SS John Fisher and Thomas More, two of the fi

Solemnity of the Nativity of St John the Baptist.

What a great day!  Solemn Mass this morning at St Peter's followed by Adoration until Noon. The Privilege of presiding at a Funeral and then a wonderful Mass for the Staff at St Thomas More High at Westcliff.   The message today is clear: we need to listen to the voice of the Baptist and take on his mantra as we prepare for the Second Coming of Christ.
