Let us remember in prayer the three former Anglican bishops who were ordained to the diaconate today: Rev. Andrew Burnham, Rev. John Broadhurst, Rev. Keith Newton. They will be ordained Catholic priests in Westminster Cathedral on Saturday by Archbishop Vincent Nichols. May the Lord bless our new deacons and help them with the work which lies ahead.
An announcement from the Holy See is expected in the next couple of days formally establishing the Ordinariate for England and Wales.
The Daily Telegraph reports that 600 laity will accompany the 50 Anglican priests being received at Easter. Three more former bishops will also enter the Church with that group.
