One of the exciting things about being a member of the Ordinariate is being conscious that one is part of something being formed by the Holy Spirit in the Church. Our dream to be in the full communion of the Catholic Church has been fulfilled, but we are not to sit on our laurels. God has called us to Apostolic Work for that is why we have been given the church structure we have been given (not a society or prelature). The exciting thing is that while we are confident God knows what He is about, we have not yet fully discerned His purposes for us. We hope very much that Professor Rowland will help reflect on our calling and the meaning of the Ordinariate in the context of what the Church calls, the New Evangelisation.
Most of those booked on the day are members of the Ordinariate but we would welcome both our Anglican and diocesan Catholic brothers and sisters to join us if they wish. Already about a dozen Anglicans have booked places.
There are still plenty of places so book now with me at buckfast@ordinariate.org.uk

The Conference centre has its own parking, although the Conference centre is part of the Abbey site. Put simply drive past the normal entrance for visitors, turn right where the road dips and rises a little, and turn right again. Follow the wiggly lane until you come to the car park.
We look forward to seeing you.
