As the first (and currently only) Ordinariate parish in NC, all Ordinariate members in the state are members of St Edmund's. The number of Ordinariate members in the Charlotte area has been growing, with some traveling to our parish in Flat Rock whenever possible. To better serve Ordinariate members in the Charlotte area and discern pastoral needs, Fr Johnson will be traveling to the Sacred Heart Chapel on Belmont Abbey's campus for a monthly Sunday evening Mass for the next four months. The first Mass will be on Mothering (Laetare) Sunday, March 15, at 4pm.
