The Rev. Jeffrey Steenson Installed as First Ordinary for the U.S. Ordinariate
From Catholic Online-
Rev. Jeffrey Steenson, at the time of his conversion to the Catholic Church in 2007 after being an Episcopal bishop, thought that his future ministry would be in a small parish. On Sunday his name was written in the history books as he was installed as the first Ordinary for the U.S. Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (www.usordinariate.org).
Cardinals Donald Wuerl of Washington and Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston along with nine other bishops from across the nation joined Fr. Steenson for this historic Mass of Institution held at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houseton.
During the ceremony, Cardinal Wuerl read the letter of appointment. Then, as the leader of the second Ordinariate jurisdiction established by the Holy Father, Steenson was then presented with the symbols of his new office, a crozier and a miter. He also received the title of Monsignor.
