Personal Ordinariate Of The Chair Of St Peter

About the Author

The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, established by the Catholic Church in 2012, serves as a unique ecclesiastical jurisdiction for former Anglicans seeking full communion with Rome while preserving elements of their liturgical and spiritual heritage. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, under the leadership of Bishop Steven J. Lopes, the Ordinariate fosters a vibrant community dedicated to the Anglican patrimony within the Roman Rite. Its publications, such as the 2018 ORDO for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter: Advent 2017 to Christmastide 2018, provide essential liturgical guidance, outlining the calendar, feasts, and rubrics tailored to this distinctive tradition. Through such resources, the Ordinariate enriches Catholic worship with Anglican sensibilities, promoting unity and devotion across diverse faithful.
