Ordinariate Life

The Leicester Ordinariate Mission is based in the historic Church of St Mary's, Husbands Bosworth. Blessed Adrian Fortescue has a historic connection with the church.

The Ordinariate Mission are seeking to develop a shrine to him in the Fortescue Chapel, which is attached to the church. The Constable Maxwell family have provided an oil painting of Blessed Adrian, and the chapel will be adapted to house it in a shrine. We have also produced prayer cards and bookmarks of him.
