From The Church Times-
THREE former Anglican bishops who were received into the Roman Catholic Church on New Year’s Day will be ordained to the priesthood in the RC Church on 15 January. By then the new Ordinariate will be established.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales issued a statement on Tuesday saying that the former Bishop of Fulham, John Broadhurst; the former Bishop of Ebbsfleet, An drew Burnham; and the former Bishop of Richborough, Keith New ton, would be ordained RC deacons on 13 January at Allen Hall Seminary Chapel, and ordained priests in Westminster Cathedral on 15 January.
A spokeswoman for the Catholic Communications Network said on Wednesday that the Ordinariate “will be set up between now and 15 January”.
The three bishops were received into the Roman Catholic Church during the 12.30 p.m. mass at Westminster Cathedral on 1 January. Their resignations, which were announced earlier this year (News, 12 November), came into effect at mid night on 31 December.
