Messages from the President and the Chairman

From the President

"Since The Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham was established in 2011 we have been overwhelmed by the generosity and goodwill of Catholics and the enthusiasm of Anglicans, especially the clergy, to become part of this great ecumenical vision offered by Pope Benedict XVI. Now we need your help to ensure that it flourishes. We need funds to support our clergy and their families, train our priests, acquire church buildings and to help us play a full part in the New Evangelisation. The Friends of the Ordinariate was set up to help the Ordinariate with practical and financial support. I welcome you to its website and invite you to find out more. We count on your support".

Mgr Keith Newton,
Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham,
President of the Friends of the Ordinariate

From the Chairman

On behalf of the trustees of the Friends of the Ordinariate, welcome! We organise events throughout the year. Some are fund-raising events, others are designed to raise the profile of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.

This site contains information about our work: we exist to help celebrate the diversity and the catholicity of the Catholic Church. All Catholics and Anglicans are very welcome to our events, A big welcome to members of the Ordinariate and to all other Catholics who have opened this page of our website. We hope that here you will find answers to your questions. If not, please go to the Contact page and send me a message."
