Additional Groups

I don't know if my original correspondent inadvertently omitted these or whether he meant to put them in a future e-mail, but another visitor has provided three more groups:
  • St Anselm's Greenville, SC: I have found a lot of information about the ordination of Fr Chalmers in 2012, but nothing about the reception of the St Anselm's group. I think this is a group Fr Chalmers has gathered, rather than previous members of his, or other, single, parish. They worship at an OF mass at St Mary's, Greenville, and meet for Evening Prayer on an irregular basis, as well as for other activities publicised on their Facebook page. Fr Chalmers is a full-time hospital administrator.
  • Boerne, TX: Fr Mark Cannaday, retired from the Episcopal dicese of Ft Worth, offers an Ordinate Rite mass at 7:30 am on Sundays at St Peter's, Boerne but this ministry is very much under the radar, as there is no website and I had to search old St Peter's bulletins to find any mention of this mass or Fr Cannaday's presence at St Peter's.
  • St Gregory's, Stoneham, MA: About a dozen people entered the Church with their rector from an ACNA parish. Hard to know if there has been growth, but there is a well-maintained website. They worship at St Patrick's, Stoneham,and Fr Liias and the Ordinariate group appear on the masthead of the parish website.
This is extremely helpful, many thanks to all who contribute this information.
