Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

Ordinariate Mission

THE PRIMARY MISSION of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter is evangelization.

We:

  • invite new disciples into a life-giving relationship with Christ. Through the reverence and beauty of the worship of God, study of sacred Scripture and charity for those in need, Ordinariate Catholics desire to share the joy of being Roman Catholic!
  • nurture reverence and beauty in liturgy, so that the Ordinariate’s tradition of worship deepens the faith and authentic discipleship of all the faithful. Our mission is particularly experienced in our celebration of liturgy, which features Anglican traditions of worship while conforming to Catholic doctrinal, sacramental and liturgical standards. Through Divine Worship: The Missal - the liturgy that unites the Ordinariates throughout the English-speaking world - we share our distinctive commitment to praising God in the eloquence of the Anglican liturgical patrimony and Prayer Book English.
  • model ecumenism, fostering the unity of the Church that our Lord prayed for (John 17:21). With respect and gratitude for the Anglican heritage that nourished us, we seek to build bridges with all our brothers and sisters who are drawn to the Church, so that we might build up the one Body of Christ.
  • serve in evangelical charity by caring for those in need.

Amen.

FEATURED QUOTE

There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men. Marcus Aurelius

GALATIANS 5:13-14

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
