Ut Unam Sint… May they be one… Welcome our Anglican brethren

On Jan. 1 2012, the erection of an official Ordinariate in North America for Catholics from Anglican backgrounds will take place and in will come many of our separated brethren, thanks in no short order to Anglicanorum Coetibus.

I am blessed to have assisted Fr. Ernie with the Anglican Use in Kansas City - I keep the St. Therese community in my prayers as I am sure they are continuing to grow.

As Fr. Ernie in his posting at “Pray the mass” states:

“When you see news of a new community of Catholics from the Anglican tradition being formed by the Ordinariate in your area, why not pay them a visit and offer them your encouragement? If you are so moved, you might also offer to join with them for a period of time, to help them get their feet on the ground, to help strengthen their community, to establish relationships with the wider Catholic Church, and to learn how to become better Catholics. In doing so you would be answering a call from Christ himself to build his Church and heal divisions. You would also be taking part in a historic movement that realizes Pope Benedict’s dream of a mutual sharing of treasures.”

This is what I did when I found it the community was starting in Kansas City.

I was so very blessed to have Served at the Altar and be apart of welcoming our separated Brothers and Sisters fully into the Arms of Holy Mother Church.

Here is a short video of the Canon of the Mass in the Anglican use, from St. Therese in Kansas City and your humble author assisting.
