Five years ago, we were blessed when you were enthroned as our new Archbishop, the seventh in the history of our beloved Archdiocese of America.  Looking back at your first few days as our spiritual shepherd, you immediately reached out to all the clergy throughout America. At the time, you said it was the right thing to do, and it was your duty as Archbishop. However, it was much more than that, it was the most loving and compassionate thing to do.
