A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
England’s ancient title as Mary’s Dowry reminds us of a Christian heritage entrusted to Our Lady, who always leads us towards her Son, Jesus Christ. Today, that heritage is not simply something to remember, but a call to renewal, to rebuild our families, communities and nation upon Christ and once again bear good fruit.
September sees the patronal feast of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. Bishop David writes about Walsingham and the place of the Ordinariate.
Fr Robert Billing, Rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, has written an open letter about the 2024 pilgrimage season.
England will rededicate itself as the Dowry of Mary on 29 March 2020. This Re-dedication is both a personal promise of the people of our country, and a renewal of the entrustment vows made by King Richard II in 1381.
This last week the priests of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham gathered at our spiritual home at England’s Nazareth, Walsingham. It was a special meeting as it was part of the annual gathering of the three ordinaries. Mgr Keith Newton was joined by Bishop Stephen Lopes, the Ordinary of The Chair of […]

Today
Tomorrow is the Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below. We’re using the Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena this weekend, the music for which is in the printed Mass booklets. This Sunday, Fr Neil is away leading the parish pilgrimage to Poland, and we welcome Fr Nicholas Leviseur from Saint Anselm's Roman Catholic Church in Pembury to celebrate Mass.
Jesus told his disciples this parable, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He did the same at the third, sixth, ninth and eleventh hours. And at the end of the day he paid them. When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house. But he replied to one of them, “Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?” So the last will be first, and the first last.’

Who is the Ordinariate actually for?
It's a bigger family than people often assume. You may be able to join us if:
⭐You're coming from outside the Catholic Church altogether and want to become Catholic.
⭐You're a cradle Catholic who never completed your Sacraments of Initiation, and want to complete them through the Ordinariate, a path Pope Francis opened in 2013.
⭐You've already completed your sacraments, but you marry an Ordinariate member, or a close family member (a child baptised within an Ordinariate group, for instance) becomes one.
⭐You're already Catholic, received via a diocese, but came from the Anglican tradition originally: you're still welcome to join the Ordinariate now.
And if none of these quite fit, but you've found a home in one of our groups, you don't have to stay on the outside: speak to your local pastor about becoming an Associate Member.
Curious where you fit? Get in touch with your local group: bit.ly/3VidlZK
