The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham’s first
monastery was founded on New Year’s Day.
On the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, the convent of the
Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Oscott Hill, Birmingham, was filled with
priests and lay members of the ordinariate, local parishioners and friends, for
the Mass at which the community of 10 Sisters was formally established as the
ordinariate’s first autonomous monastery.
The Sisters, formerly members of an Anglican Community in Wantage, Oxfordshire, professed their solemn vows, each placing her hands into those of the leader of the ordinariate, Mgr Keith Newton, who read the Decree of Erection, presided at the Mass and delivered the homily. The day was the first anniversary of the Sisters’ reception into the full communion of the Catholic Church.
