Details from the Savannah Morning News:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a first for the Catholic Diocese of Savannah, Bishop Gregory J. Hartmayer ordained an Anglican priest to the Catholic priesthood Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Lucien Lindsey was ordained a Catholic priest at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah and incardinated in the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.<\/p>\n

The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter is a structure, similar to a diocese, that was created by the Vatican in 2012 for former Anglican communities and clergy seeking to become Catholic\u2026<\/p>\n

..Lindsey will be assigned to St. Mary on the Hill Parish in Augusta. He and his wife, Jeanne, have four adult children \u2014 three sons and a daughter. They have 17 grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Addressing Jeanne Lindsey at the end of the ordination Mass, Hartmayer said, \u201cIt\u2019s not often that I have the opportunity to address the wife of one of our priests.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to praise and thank her for her 50 years of \u201cbeing such a strong witness to the vocation of the priesthood.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
