Our Lady of the Atonement Church is a Roman Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, and is the first of several \u201cpersonal parishes\u201d erected in the United States for the Anglican Use Liturgy. This parish has no affiliation with the so-called \u201cContinuing Anglican Movement,\u201d nor with any branch of the Episcopal or Anglican churches. Rather, its members, many of whom are converts from the Episcopal Church, have been granted permission to retain some elements of the Anglican liturgical heritage while being fully Roman Catholic. Throughout the world the Catholic Church has numerous liturgical rites all under the authority of the Roman Pontiff, and the Church has always taught that there can be legitimate diversity in unity. While the liturgy used at Our Lady of the Atonement Parish is not a separate Rite, it is the only approved variation of the Latin Rite in the United States.<\/p>\n

On August 15, 1983, a small group of converts from the Episcopal Church was received into the Roman Catholic Church by the Most Reverend Patrick F. Flores, Archbishop of San Antonio, in the Cathedral of San Fernando. At the same ceremony, the Reverend Christopher G. Phillips, also a convert to the fulness of the Catholic Faith, was ordained by the Archbishop to be their pastor. These eighteen people were the founding members of Our Lady of the Atonement Parish. For the first time in the history of the Western Church a group of Protestants was welcomed into the bosom of Holy Mother Church with a Pastoral Provision which includes the right to seek the establishment of Personal Parishes under the authority of diocesan bishops, a unique liturgical use, particular devotional practices, and a married clergy on a limited basis. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
