Welcome to the website of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, erected by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. The Ordinariate currently includes eleven worship communities across Australia.
An important part of the spirituality of the Ordinariate is its use of the English vernacular in the liturgy of the Church.
