State of the Ordinariate?

[Gnarwhal]

I'm wondering if anyone knows the latest news on the health of the Anglican Ordinariate? I checked their website but didn't notice much in the way of news, at least on that subject anyway.

I ask because I just learned the Ordinariate parish in San Diego closed down this summer, and then when I asked about it on Reddit someone told me the Ordinariate parish in Oshawa, Ontario closed last week. Even though they're so far apart the nature of the Ordinariate means they're under the same jurisdiction, so I wonder if there's something going on, or maybe it's just starting to recede already?

At first I thought maybe this was just Cardinal McElroy being McElroy and chasing them out of his diocese, but the Ontario parish shutting down changes that.

Has anyone else heard anything?

The last parish of theirs to close, at least that I know of, was in Minneapolis. That was I'm guessing five years ago and under some wild circumstances I won't get in to now. As I understand it they are thinking of reforming a parish again there. The parish I am in occasional contact with, St. Barnabas, seems to be doing OK. I think there was a draw for these folks from popes JP2 and B16. Not sure the draw now.

Would love to attend that parish sometime soon if I have the ride!

I hope the Ordinariate is relatively healthy. It's a shame to see a beautiful liturgy die.
