Ordinariate Assignment For Fr Chori Seraiah

A visitor reports,

After languishing in a diocesan parish in Atlantic, IA since his ordination in 2012, Fr Jonathin Seraiah will be taking over the newly-named OCSP community of St George in Springfield, MO in May. Up to this point the Springfield community has been lay-led; an OCSP military chaplain stationed about a hundred miles away has said mass for them four times a year for the last two years or so, so this is a big step forward. Fr Seraiah has already visited the community and according to the St George Facebook page (where he was pictured but not named) several baptisms and receptions took place at that time.

Yesterday I reflected on how well connected our diocesan parish is in the affairs of the archdiocese. A disadvantage, from my perspective, of potentially going into the Ordinariate is currently that so little seems to be happening there. But developments like this may reflect a change.
