THE P RTAL June 2017 Page 8 Saturday 17 th June 2017 Arnold Herron looks forward to an important day in the life of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham O rdinations are always special. I expect you have read in the press about the small number of ordinations in the Catholic Church in these islands over the past few years. Well, in this, as in so many other areas, the Ordinariate is bucking the trend. Ten men are to be ordained Deacon on Saturday 17 th June 2017, at St James’, Spanish Place, London W1U 3QY, where the Parish Priest is Fr Christopher Colven, known, I am sure, to most of our readers as the one-time Administrator of the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, and a friend of the Ordinariate. The ordination will be celebrated by His Eminence Cardinal George Pell. It promises to be a great occasion with many blessings to be had by so many; those to be ordained Deacon, of course, but also by many others who will be privileged to be present. Everything begins at 11.30am on that day. You may be sure that T he P ortal will be present and there will be a report in the July edition of our magazine. Those to be Ordained Deacon are: Jonathan Creer and Thomas Mason, who are both Ordinariate seminarians at St Mary’s College, Oscott; Cardinal George Pell The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham THE ORDER OF MASS D ivine W orship : T he M issal in accordance with the R oman R ite Ordinariate Mass cards with the Order of Mass from D ivine W orship : T he M issal are now available Prices including UK delivery are: £1 for a single copy, £3.50 for 10, £14 for 50, £26 for 100, £48 for 200 Overseas enquiries: email [email protected] for postage costs To order, please send your name and address with your cheque, made payable to Ordinariate OLW to: Mass Cards, Ordinariate
