Monks, nuns and friars vow to give their lives totally to God and to live in community.
Everyone who wants to become a member of the Ordinariate must make an individual petition and profession of faith.
If you are a member of an Anglican Religious community, we recommend getting in touch with the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The ten sisters were formerly members of the Anglican community of St Mary the Virgin which was born in the Oxford Movement and founded in Wantage in Oxfordshire in 1848. The sisters were received into the full communion of the Catholic Church, through the Ordinariate, at the Oxford Oratory on 1st January 2013. They are the praying heart of the Ordinariate.
This is a very unique journey and if you and your community are exploring becoming part of the Catholic Church, the sisters would be able to support you.
