Celebrating the 8th Anniversary of Ordination to the Episcopacy
Today the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter celebrates the 8th anniversary of Bishop Steven J. Lopes, our first bishop. Please pray for him and all of our clergy who serve the Ordinariate. "Eternal God, who has set ministers and pastors in thy Church, by whom thou wouldest plant holiness in the world and reign in the hearts of men: pour upon thy servant Steven, our Bishop and the Clergy committed to his charge, the flame of thy Holy Spirit, that they may lift up the everlasting light of the Gospel, and feed with the living Bread the flock of they dear Son; by whom alone mankind shall be healed and glorify thy Name, now and ever. Amen" -St. Gregory's Prayer Book
