On Holy Cross Day, fourteen clergy and religious from Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut gathered to inaugurate the New England Chapter of the Society of Catholic Priests. National Convenor Fr. David Cobb,(right in the middle of the photo),a chapter member as well since he is Rector of Christ Church, New Haven, CT, was with us as Presider for the Mass. New members were admitted, continuing members renewed their promises, and the chapter was formed. The Society of Catholic Priests exists to provide a place for catholic minded clergy and religious to meet in mutual support, to encourage a deepening spiritual life and growing ministry, and to celebrate the Church's openness to all who may be called by God to ordained ministry.
