Saturday - Ordinariate in Leeds Diocese

Mr Hirst, my good friend of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham has asked me to announce the following:

The next Ordinariate Use Mass at St Joseph’s is on Saturday, 4 May at 3.00 p.m. 
At this Mass, we will receive one candidate into the Catholic Church according to Ordinariate Rites, so this is a big moment for us - our first convert.
