How to join

We enable Anglicans, and many others from diverse christian backgrounds and none, to enter into full communion of the Catholic Church whilst preserving elements of our Anglican liturgical, spiritual and pastoral heritage. If you are considering making the journey from Anglicanism, or any other Christian tradition or none, to Catholicism we would be honoured to accompany you.

A treasure to be shared

In 2011, Pope Benedict XVI invited us to establish the Ordinariate to, ‘maintain the liturgical, spiritual, and pastoral traditions of the Anglican Communion within the Catholic Church, as a precious gift nourishing the faith of the members of the ordinariate and as a treasure to be shared.’
