For two thousand years the Church has proclaimed the good news that through the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, humanity has been invited into a restored relationship with God. Yet every generation must find ways to proclaim that same Gospel within its own time and circumstances.
We live in a world that asks difficult questions. Many people today struggle to reconcile the message of divine love with the ways Christianity has sometimes been practiced in history. Institutions that have accomplished great good have also caused deep wounds. As a result, many now approach the Church with skepticism, pain, or uncertainty. The Ordinariate exists to serve within that reality.
Our mission is simple: to support ministries that embody the love of God in places where the traditional structures may not always be present. Our clergy and communities serve in settings such as chaplaincy, urban and digital missions, other specialized ministries, and emerging communities of faith.
Rooted in the historic Christian tradition, we hold the Holy Scriptures, the apostolic tradition of the Church, the use of reason, and the wisdom of lived experience together as guides for faithful Christian life. At the center of all these stands our unwavering conviction that the character of God revealed in Jesus Christ is love. Because of this conviction, we believe the Church must never coerce the conscience of anyone. The Gospel is not something imposed by power, but something invited through compassion, witness, and sacramental life.
Our structure as an Ordinariate allows ministers and communities to work together in fellowship while responding creatively to the needs of the people they serve. Whether in hospitals, mission settings, or emerging Eucharistic communities, we seek to make present the same incarnational love revealed when “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
