A Closer Look At The Ordinariate -- VII

My correspondent has sent me information on five additional groups:

• St Augustine, FL: This group of about 20 former ACA members is led by Fr Marziani, formerly of the Episcopal diocese of Ft Worth. He became a Catholic layman in 2006 but shepherded the ACA community into the OCSP in 2012 and was subsequently ordained. The group meets for a weekly vigil mass.
• St John Fisher, Potomac Falls, VA: This is a mission of St Luke's, DC, under the leadership of Fr Sly, a former Charismatic Episcopal Church bishop who became a Catholic layman in 2006 and has since been ordained. A weekly mass is offered. Numbers and other details, except about Fr Sly, are sketchy; the website still refers to St Luke's, Bladensburg, although that parish moved to DC in September 2014, so it is clearly not well-maintained.
• St Joseph of Arimathea, Indianapolis, IN: This group (of 17, initially) has worshipped together at Holy Cross Parish since 2012. An Ordinariate Rite mass is offered weekly by a diocesan priest, and they also have a weekly service of Evening Prayer. Their former ACA clergyman recently participated in the Rite of Candidacy for Holy Orders.

There are two more groups not on the OCSP website.

• One is a former Anglican Use group in Corpus Christi, TX which has now applied to join the OCSP. They are ministered to by Fr Vidal, who is also the Catholic chaplain at the local Naval Air Station, and they have an Ordinariate rite Sunday mass on the chapel at the base. Given the security check and escort requirements for getting on the base I assume the group is small.
• The other group is in Denison, TX and is a former ACA parish that has been in the Ordinariate pipeline since 2010. About 20 members were confirmed last week. They have their own building but are currently attending mass together at a local diocesan parish.

I hope that if there are new groups forming up someone will let you, and thus others, know. I think this is an area where lack of communication from OCSP HQ is a serious obstacle to growth.

Yet again, corrections, clarifications, and updates are most welcome.
