Catholic Review Online: Welcome home: Episcopal nuns, priest in Archdiocese of Baltimore join Catholic Church

George Matysek has the full story at the Catholic Review : Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien received 10 Episcopal nuns and an Episcopal priest into the Roman Catholic Church during a Sept. 3 liturgy. The sisters, members of the Society of All Saints’ Sisters of the Poor, were confirmed and renewed their religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience inside the chapel of their Catonsville convent.... Archdiocesan leaders are working with Vatican officials to establish the sisters as the first “diocesan institute” in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – a religious community that is overseen directly by the bishop. Don't miss the photos and more ! Welcome home, Sisters and Father!

10 Episcopal nuns in Archdiocese of Baltimore to join Catholic Church

This story was first posted by Shawn Tribe of New Liturgical Movement and I posted it in June, 2009 . The Catholic Review has now released the full details (this story was also linked by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf of WDTPRS ). George P. Matysek, Jr. details the faith journey of ten Society of All Saints Sisters of the Poor who are entering the Church on September 3rd in a Mass celebrated by His Excellency Archbishop Edwin O'Brien. In a follow-up story, Matysek details the fact that a "Diocesan Institute" (the first in Baltimore) will be formed . Please read both stories and don't miss the slide show of the good Sisters. Several priests are learning to say the Anglican-Use liturgy.
