A little over a year after their establishment as the first Ordinariate, pilgrims from the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham journeyed to Rome for a Lenten visit and to say “Thank you ” to the Holy Father for this new work. The group included approximately 100 people including a dozen priests.
The highlight of their weeklong visit was the celebration of an Anglican Use Mass at St. Joseph’s Chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica. Complete with hymns, liturgies and prayers familiar to Anglicans, the Mass was led by Msgr. Keith Newton, Ordinary for the Ordinariate that covers England, Wales and Scotland.
