St. Thomas More (Anglican Use of the Catholic Church), Toronto


That is the new name for the Catholic congregation formerly the Toronto Anglican Use Sodality (TAUS). Msgr. Steenson sent word that the congregation, seeking to enter the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (CSP), could come under the patronage of St. Thomas More, the sixteenth-century English Catholic layman, noted author and Chancellor of England who maintained his allegiance to the Holy See despite pressure to acknowledge the king as supreme over the Church. He was martyred.

The congregation will be developed within the CSP initially as what Ordinariate chancellor, Margaret Chalmers, has said is canonically a "Public Association of the Faithful". This is the first step towards development as a parish over time.

WELCOME

You are welcome to this modest attempt to comment on Catholic matters and to answer questions from average Catholics, Anglicans, Protestants and others inquiring about the Personal Ordinariates and the mandate for unity.

The Ordinariates are like non-geographical dioceses for Anglicans and others coming into the full communion of the Catholic Church. In the New Evangelization, Pope Francis has extended the mandate of the Ordinariates to reach out to baptized but unconfirmed Catholics who are drawn to the commitment of faith and worship in Ordinariate Catholic communities with their distinctive traditional English liturgy, music and pastoral life.

We share the journey with fellow Christians, both those who are already in full communion and those who are considering the ORDINARIATE OF THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER (OCSP) erected January 1, 2012 under the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus. Our first chief pastor was the Right Reverend Monsignor Jeffrey Steenson appointed in January 2012.

On February 2, 2016 our first bishop, the Most Rev. Steven Lopes, was ordained. The Chancery and Cathedral of the OCSP are in Houston, TX. The OCSP serves all of North America including over 40 small and some large congregations across the continent with over 70 priests and deacons (15 in Canada). Since Fall 2016 the OCSP has more than 50 instituted acolytes in subdiaconal ministry - we have three currently serving at STM, Toronto.

Our purpose here is to offer commentary on issues which concern Canadian Catholics, pastoral responses to questions and encouragement to those seekers who have sincere questions.

I, along with some associates from the Catholic Parish of St. Thomas More, Toronto (OCSP) www.stmtoronto.ca seek to provide News, information and advice for those who contact us confidentially by e-mail. We ensure confidentiality as people proceed to unity at their own pace and from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances.

We invite you then, to submit questions via the following e-mail address:

peregrinusto@gmail.com

We will attempt to answer these questions for those who sincerely respond to our Lord's prayer - ut unum sint - that we "all may be one".

Faithfully in Christ,

Fr. John L. Hodgins,
Catholic Parish of St. Thomas More,
Toronto, Ontario
CANADA
