A message from the President
Bishop David Waller
Ordinary Bishop
The Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham
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 among some Anglicans 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.
Archbishop Antonio Mennini
The former Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain
The former Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, His Excellency Archbishop Antonio Mennini, asked benefactors to be as generous as possible in their support of the Ordinariate.
In an address to the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, given at Oscott in May 2011, Archbishop Mennini said:
[The Pope] reminded me that he had asked you to be “generous in implementing the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus”. In his name, I wish to thank all of you for the way you have meticulously carried out that mandate. At the same time, I wish to congratulate and encourage Monsignor Keith Newton who was appointed first Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.
