Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham

On 15 January 2011, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published a Decree which formally established a ‘Personal Ordinariate’ in England and Wales for groups of Anglican faithful and their clergy who wish to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church.

The establishment of this Ordinariate was the first fruit of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, which means groups of Anglicans, issued by Pope Benedict XVI on 4 November 2009.
