  • Archbishop O'brien Named Head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome
    Archbishop O’Brien named head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien of Baltimore as Pro- Grand Master of the Equestrian Order (Knights) of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, based in Rome. The appointment was announced simultaneously in Rome and in Washington, Aug. 29. “News of this appointment came as a shock to me and I am still adjusting to the reality that effective today I am no longer the Archbishop of Baltimore,” the archbishop said at an Aug. 29 news conference at the Catholic Center in Baltimore to discuss the appointment. “Until learning very recently of my appointment as grand master of the Holy Sepulcher, I was prepared and eager to serve out the remainder of my episcopacy as Archbishop of Baltimore, a title I have been honored to hold and a role in which I have been blessed to serve.” The order is a chivalric organization dedicated to promoting and defending Christianity in the Holy Land, supporting the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and responding to the needs of Catholics in the region. Its origins date back to the First Crusade. He succeeds in the post American Cardinal John P. Foley, who resigned and retired in February as head of the international order for health reasons. Cardinal Foley returned to Philadelphia to live permanently earlier this year after having served in Vatican posts since 1984. Though he ceases to be archbishop of Baltimore effective with the appointment, the pope named him as apostolic administrator of the archdiocese until his successor is named.

  • History Sacred Heart Cathedral
    History of Sacred Heart Cathedral His Holiness Pope John XXIII History of Sacred Heart Gathedral Rochester, New York 1911 - 1961 A HISTORICAL SKETCH by Robert F. McNamara Professor of Church History ST. BERNARD'S SEMINARY Rochester, N. Y. THE CATHEDRAL Rochester 1961 His Excellency Most Rev. James E. Kearney, D .D. Bishop of Rochester Foreword After half a century of religious activity, I am sure the story of our beautiful Cathedral will be very welcome. While it is true that the story of a Catholic Church is a deeply spiritual experience written in the hearts of those who worshipped here both within the sanctuary and in the pews, we still have the saga of those whose devotion and labors created, developed, and finally brought to cathedral magnificence this Church dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Scholarship and piety give to the pen of Father McNamara the gift of enriching th~s simple story for our edification. I thank God for the privilege of being a part of the story for so many years. + James E. Kearney Bishop of Rochester Preface After the parish picnic on July 9th, we spent the evening proof­ reading the galley sheets of Father McNamara's parish history. Reading his account of the laying of the cornerstone of the original church, Sunday, July 9, 1911, we suddenly realized that the event had taken place exactly fifty years before, to the very day. Laying the copy aside, we made a sentimental pilgrimage across the street and stood in the gathering darkness before the cornerstone, thinking long thoughts about the past.

    School of Theology - Seton Hall University file:///Volumes/Site%20Backups/theology%2020090910/lecture... A CENTURY OF PAPAL REPRESENTATION IN THE UNITED STATES Reverend Timothy M. Dolan Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Archdiocese of St. Louis Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, October 15, 1992 "Hence we cheerfully sent one who should represent Our Person..." wrote Pope Leo XII in his encyclical Longinqua Oceani1 to the Church of the United States, January 6, 1895, referring to the appointment of the first apostolic delegate, Archbishop Francesco Satolli, just two years previous. That January 21, 1993, will be the centennial of this event suggested the topic of this year's Archbishop Gerety Lecture, "A Century of Papal Representation in the United States." Thank you for the invitation to be part of this distinguished lecture series. For the record, I have dedicated this meagre effort to the preeminent church historian of the United States, Monsignor John Tracy Ellis, my teacher, mentor and friend who, at 87, is now recuperating from hip surgery in Washington, D.C. May the Lord of Truth whom he has served so diligently be close to him in his recovery. I propose to develop this topic under five points. First, I will treat the way the Holy See approached America prior to Archbishop Satolli's appointment; secondly, I will consider the give-and-take surrounding his nomination in 1893; then will come a staccato-like overview of the comings-and-goings of his 10 successors; fourthly, I will take a look at just what, in general, the delegates have done, offering two examples of their activities; and, finally, I will conclude with a segment on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the government of the United States.
