Archdiocese of New York: April 2009 Archives
The Church in New York, and for that matter the Church in Bridgeport and the Church Universal, owes a debt of gratitude to Cardinal Edward Egan for his service as a priest, bishop and cardinal.
When he took over the leadership of New York's Church it was a time of great turmoil. I think he's done the best he could given time and talent and grace --and for that I am grateful.
May the Lord abundantly bestow many rich blessings upon Cardinal Egan as he moves into another chapter of his life. May he continue to live in the holiness of Truth.
As the Church in New York accepts Archbishop Timothy Michael Dolan as the their archbishop we gather our prayers together for him as well. The rites of installation have begun and we join in the faith, hope and charity of Christians.
Dolan is the new pastor of 2.5 million people!
May the Blessed Virgin and the Saints petition Almighty God for the graces needed for Archbishop Dolan to govern, sanctify and teach the faithful of the Archdiocese of New York.
To Whom Shall We Go? Remain close to the Lord, He has the words of everlasting life!
