Continued from front page… spent a year at the Community of the Franciscan Way [Episcopal] modeled after Peter Maurin's Catholic Worker Houses. He was ordained an Episcopal priest in 2014 and he returned to Athens as a chaplain to UGA at St. Mary's and a curate to Emmanuel Episcopal Church. He and Megan were married shortly after, in 2016.They both began the discernment process of the Catholic faith, attending RCIA classes and were confirmed into the Church in 2017. It was at this time that they and several other former Episcopalians applied to the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. The Ordinariate was set up by the Vatican for those former Anglican/Episcopal individuals, who are fully Roman Catholic, while retaining elements of Anglican heritage in their celebration of Mass and in the hospitality and ministries of their Catholic parishes. Thus, the Catholic Community of St. Aelred began with Deacon Tipton serving as administrator. Even as a former Episcopalian priest, Deacon Tipton still went through an extensive formation process for Holy Orders in the Catholic Church and was ordained a transitional Deacon in November, 2018.
Now his study comes to fruition with his ordination as a Catholic priest. While celibacy is the norm, special dispensation has been given by the Pope for former Anglican priests who are married to be ordained Catholic priests for the Ordinariate. The future Fr. Tipton will continue to teach Philosophy and Religion at Monsignor Donovan High School, and now as a priest, will also be able to celebrate Mass and hear confessions. He and his wife, Megan, have two children, Leo and Maria. St. Aelred Catholic Community is part of The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (OCSP). The OCSP was established on January 1, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI in the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus to help former Anglicans reconcile to Mother Church. The OCSP functions like a Roman Catholic diocese. St. Aelred became a Catholic Community on the Feast of St. Francis 2017. Beginning July 9, the St. Aelred Mass will be offered each Sunday at 10 AM in the SJS Chapel, followed by their Catechesis program at 11 AM in room #321. Evening Prayer will continue Monday-Friday at 4:30 PM in the Chapel.
