In 2018, Edel Lukens and her husband, a convert, found a new spiritual home in the Bridgeport area at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, a parish in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. After requesting that Fr. Ousley allow their local Legion of Mary Praesidium, based in Norristown, to run a Patricians group at the parish, the priest enthusiastically agreed, serving as its spiritual director (a monthly discussion group meant to get Catholics comfortable talking about their faith).
