Diaconal Ordination of Dr. Don Palencia
for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair
of St. Peter in the Anglican Use
Celebrant: The Most Rev. Steven Joseph Lopes
The father of Gabriel Palencia of Chorus Breviarii Murrieta will be ordained a deacon on the 1st Saturday of September by the Most Rev. Stephen J. Lopes, Bishop-Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, a special diocese covering the United States and Canada that ministers to those tied to the Anglican Use of the Roman Rite. While ordinations are usually performed at the Ordinariate's Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham in Houston, TX, Bishop Lopes has received permission from the Norbertines of St. Michael's Abbey to use the abbey church for this year's ceremonies. The ceremony will begin at 1pm and will be followed by a reception in the abbey's courtyard. Our own Fratellino will be directing music for the Anglican Use Mass, and we may even hear some organ playing from Chorus Breviarii member Sam. Come join us for this joyful occasion!
