From Indy Catholic-
The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham welcomed its first Scottish priest on Sunday. The former Episcopal minister, Fr Len Black, 61 and a grandfather of two, was ordained at St Mary's Church in Greenock by Bishop Philip Tartaglia of Paisley.
Fr Black was an Episcopal minister for 30 years. He served at St Michael and All Angels in Inverness and was also the regional dean of Forward in Faith.
Fr Black delivered his last sermon at St Michael's earlier this year. About a dozen members of his congregation are believed to be converting with him.
Bishop Peter Moran of Aberdeen, ordained Rev Black to the diaconate last month at Pluscarden Abbey near Elgin. Speaking before his ordiation, he said: "The gift of ordination is a great privilege and honour, and for me it is also the culmination of a long journey into full communion with the Catholic Church made possible by the generosity of Pope Benedict."
