The stories continue to come in from yesterday's ordinations to the diaconate at Allen Hall. The video above comes via Fr. James Bradley of Sevenoaks, St. John the Baptist, whose media contributions over the last year have been invaluable.
Fr. Bradley also has a set of photos from yesterday on Flickr.
Anna Arco has this piece recounting the day's events at the Catholic Herald.
At Ordinariate Portal, there are now four eyewitness accounts of yesterday's events:
May God bless Fathers Broadhurst, Burnham, and Newton during their profoundly transitional diaconate. More news as it comes…

Published by VIS – Holy See Press Office – Friday, January 14, 2011:
"This evening he (= The Holy Father) is scheduled to receive in audience Cardinal William Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith."
Presumably the timing will be that the decree for the Ordinariate will be announced tomorrow (hopefully before, or maybe during, the ordinations at Westminster Cathedral). With the announcement of the decree for the beatification of the Venerable John Paul II today, it makes sense that the ordinariate announcement would be tomorrow.
It is my hope that the service of these three individuals will give as much joy to the Roman Church as it has to the Anglicans.
("Firmly I believe and truly") … was sung to Rockstro, a tune too little aired these days (in the writer’s opinion).
The writer was not named, otherwise we might have asked him where to find this tune. Does anybody else know? Perhaps it has another name?
AKA "Omni Dei" , written by Rockstro.

Melody in Corner's Gesangbuch, 1631, arr. Wm Rockstro. As Lina says, aka Omni die.

I find this website excellent. We do not have an organist and I get all of our music from this site.
To look ahead, does anyone know if tomorrows Ordinations will be broadcast live or delayed, on EWTN or on-line? Perhaps downloadable from a Catholic site like The Ordinariate Portal? Inquiring minds want to know!
The Ordinariate Portal hasn't the means to stream the Mass, though we would if we could! The Archdiocese/Cathedral might be able to do something, but you'd have to ask them – similarly, it might be that images and sound appears on new websites, should there be any covering the story.
