Deo gratias! Greg got to this announcement before I did. Many thanks, Greg! We are very, very excited and grateful for Divine Worship: The Missal, and will begin using it in just a few weeks, on Advent Sunday. Unfortunately, it is currently available only in an altar edition, which costs US$500. More later...
By the way: we now have a new parish in Houston. That makes two ordinariate parishes here: Walsingham, the principal church of the ordinariate, and St Margaret of Scotland, the new parish located in the suburb of Katy. We are literally bursting at the seams. Walsingham now has a Saturday vigil, three Sunday morning masses (the 11.15 one being always solemn high), and one Sunday evening mass. And now a second parish. We now have over forty parishes throughout the US and Canada.
(Oops! I meant to put this comment in Greg's thread about Divine Worship: the Missal. - maybe Chonak will be good enough to transfer it.)
This is indeed a happy event. The local Ordinariate community near us can now use a real altar Missal instead of a 3-ring binder with the Mass text in it!
This is really good news. It is a testimony to to the fact that beauty and good liturgy draws the human person into union with Christ, and that yes, it does make a difference!
