http://cathnews.com/cathnews/35909-new-head-of-personal-ordinariate-installed Canadian Msgr Carl Reid is the second priest to lead the Australian Ordinariate, which was established in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI to welcome groups of Anglicans seeking full communion with the Catholic Church.

The Ordinariate community of Blessed John Henry Newman has a lovely little Chapel in Sidney, BC. A family has kindly set aside a vacant room in their home for the exclusive purpose of celebrating Mass. There is no tabernacle. A daily Said Mass is held for Saanich Peninsula residents on Fridays at 9:30am . Mattins precedes at 8:45am. The Chapel is well appointed: a simple but stately ad orientem altar with handsome brass candlesticks from the Blessed John Henry Newman Chapel at a former host parish; a sturdy brass lectern and floor candlesticks; credence table; Stations of the Cross. There is plenty of room for visitors. Word has it that Msgr. Carl and Barb landed safely in Australia and are getting settled in. Below: a photo of the final post-Mass fellowship in the living room of the host family. Photo: Dan M.

The story... at ACS Blog: https://anglicanorumcoetibussociety.blog/2019/07/01/dominion-day-news-of-fr-kenyons-return-to-canada/ Christopher Mahon As Canadians celebrate Canada Day, historically and still known by many as Dominion Day, some good news for the Deanery of Saint John the Baptist has been announced. Our former dean, Father Lee Kenyon, is being appointed pastor of the ordinariate parish in Victoria, British Columbia , and will be moving with his family back to Canada over the summer in order to take on the assignment in the fall. The timing is even more fitting given that it was also announced today that Blessed John Henry Newman, the namesake of the Victoria parish, is to be canonized this October 13th. News gets around. Sometimes enthusiasm gets the word out before permission is granted. Probably no harm done. Better to ask for forgiveness... ? Victoria is pleased to hear of the possibility of Fr. Kenyon's debut on the Island. We wait for the official c...

The marble floor is in grey and red, the latter honouring Christ’s blood. The sanctuary with its notable baldachino has been completely cleaned and the baldachino freshly repainted. A new heating system—one of the first items to be installed—lies beneath the gleaming new floor. The sacristy with its Victorian panelling and unusual “lantern” window has been restored to its original use and holds an array of good vestments. Weekday Masses, restored to their place in church, are well-attended, as the church stands just across the river from the City of London with its teeming crowds o...
