St Luke's journey to communion with Peter

The date has been set for St Luke's, Bladensburg, Maryland, to be received into the Catholic Church - October 9th, the feast of Blessed John Henry Newman.

The Rector of St Luke's reminds us of the call of Anglicanorum Coetibus - for Anglicanism to be reordered around the apostolic authority of the See of Peter:

We put so much value in Scripture, but in our discernment we came to understand that there has to be apostolic authority in the sense of ‘the buck stops here.’ Who interprets Scripture? It can’t be different interpretations in different dioceses. This led us to Rome.”

We entrust St Luke's on its pilgrimage to communion with Peter to the intercession of Blessed John Henry Newman.
