A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THF PITTSBURGH CATHOI 1C FOR FRIDAY. NOVEMBERS. 1993 Dear Friends, Every five years, each bishop is called upon to visit the Holy Father and renew the bonds of communion with the Successor of Peter and render an accounting of his minis­ try. This visit takes its name from the latin ad limina Apostolorum, which is translated “to the threshold of the apostles.” The ad limina visit by all the bishops who, in com­ munion with the Apostolic See, preside in charity and in service over particular churches in every part of the world, has a very definite purpose which is described in the directory for the visit as: “the strengthening of their own responsibility as successors of the apostles and of their hierarchical communion with the Successor of Peter.” The ad limina visit has a strong theological foundation, is primarily a spiritual-pastoral event which at the same time ful­ fills certain canonical norms of accountability. The foundation for the visit of the bishop to the Pope is the ecclesial communion they share as members of the college of bishops and successors of the apostles. The Second Vatican Council teaches us that the center of the Church’s life and structure is our communion with Christ in the liturgy. “The Church not only celebrates communion, the Church is communion.” The essential structure of the Church follows on the mystery of Chrisf’s enduring presence with us and our communion with the Father in and through Christ and our communion with each other in and through the liturgy. For this reason, a bishop, on behalf of the whole Church and personally, confirms his communion with the Successor of Peter and the Apostolic See by visit­ ing Rome and celebrating the Eucharist with our Holy Father. The spiritual-pastoral dimension of the visit is to highlight not only the intimate relationship between the local Church and the universal Church, but the fact that all pastors are called and ordained to the service of the Body of Christ — God’s people. The pope and the bishops, as successors to the apostles and members of the college of bish­ ops, share a unique spiritual bond and a common pastoral mandate. The ad limina visit is an occasion to reflect on and share aspects of their episcopal responsibilities. According to the law of the Church, a quinquennial (five year) report must be presented to the Holy See by the bishop during his ad limina visit. It is this report that I share in summary form with you the faithful priests, religious and laity of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. To fulfill the canonical obligations and to provide a practical form of account­ ability, the quinquennial report is sent to Rome in advance of the visit so that it can be studied and appropriate ques­ tions can be formulated for a response by the bishop during the visit. In the early days of November, the bishops of this local Church will make our ad limina visit to Rome, to the tombs of Peter and Paul and to the threshold of Peter’s successor, Pope John Paul II. What you have before you is a short, edited “Executive Summary” of a far larger report that speaks of the condition of this diocese and of my efforts to carry out my responsibilities as the bishop of this local Church add shepherd of its flock. In sharing with you this sum­ mary, I hope you will rejoice with me in what so many of you working together have accomplished these past five years, and that you will join me in a prayer of thanksgiving to God for all that God has done for each of us. At the same time, I ask your continued prayers for Bishop McDowell, Bishop Winter, Bishop Tobin and myself as we attempt to serve Christ and his Church and to be for you true shepherds after the mind and heart of Jesus.

Faithfully in Christ,

Bishop of Pittsburgh

WHAT THE HOLY FATHER WILL HEARABOUT THE DIOCESE OF PITTSBURGH

When Pope John Paul II meets with the repre­ sentatives of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, led by Bishop Wuerl, he will hear of a local Church positioning itself well for the next millennium.
