An Old/New Community, Ordinariate-Bound!

Christ our Good Shepherd has entrusted some of His faithful childen to the particular spiritual care of Blessed John Henry Newman, with the organization of a community dedicated to the beatified convert and cardinal.

Comprised of people who were part of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Rosemont, the Fellowship of Blessed John Henry Newman, under the leadership of Bishop David Moyer, is an Ordinariate-bound community of Anglicans, and they will celebrate their inaugural Mass this Sunday, September 4th, at 10 a.m. The location and other details can be found at the website, and if you are in the Philadelphia area, you would be most welcome.

Please pray for Bishop Moyer and the members of the Fellowship as they prepare to take their place in the U. S. Ordinariate as soon as it is established.
