Welcome to the Church and Shrine of
Our Lady of Walsingham

 

The parish of Our Lady of Walsingham, established in 1984 under the  Pastoral Provision of Pope John Paul II,  was the first Roman Catholic parish in the United States to be dedicated to Our Lady under this title and one of several  personal parishes in the country. Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church was named principal church of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter established on January 1, 2012. The Mass of Institution took place on February 12, 2012.

Our Anglican Use liturgy, approved by the Holy See,  is published in the Book of Divine Worship. We welcome visitors not only to worship with us at the parish church but also visit the outdoor Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.


We offer thanks for the Apostolic Constitution, Anglicanorum coetibus, and for the establishment of the Ordinariate here in the United States on January 1, 2012 on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. We rejoice in the generous invitation of Pope Benedict XVI to secure a permanent place for our Anglican Patrimony and to help others reconcile with Holy Mother Church.
