GEORGE RAINE CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

In August of 2009, San Francisco Archbishop Sal- vatore J. Cordileone made his fi rst of many week- end visits to a parish in the Diocese of Oakland, a few months after being installed as its fourth bishop. The parish was Our Lady, Queen of the World in Bay Point, a Catholic community of extraordinary diversity, with 42 cultures represented and Masses in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. The weekend was close to Aug. 22, the feast day of Our Lady, Queen of the World, which resonated for the arch- bishop, since Our Lady, Queen of the World is also the Oakland diocese’s primary patroness. There’s even more symmetry to the story: Our Lady, Queen of the World was the fi rst parish estab- lished by the then-new Diocese of Oakland, in 1962 – and this year both parish and diocese celebrate their golden jubilees. Almost three years to the day later, quite by chance, on Aug. 18 and 19, Archbishop Cordileone made his 38th visit to an Oakland diocese parish to Our Lady, Queen of the World, where the faithful said they were blessed by the visits. “It makes us feel more Catholic,” Ellen Carstensen, of Pittsburg, said of Archbishop Cord- ileone’s visit. She and her husband, Steve, present- (PHOTO COURTESY Z’MA WYATT) ed him with a handmade fan from the Philippines Archbishop Cordileone greets parishioners at Our Lady, Queen of the World Church in Bay Point Aug. 19. with the inscription, “God Bless Our Home.” Archbishop Cordileone will be installed as the The visits say a lot about a parish.

The ritual of welcoming Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone to San Francisco will be visibly symbol- ized by the rector opening the bronze doors of St. Mary’s Cathedral to the archbishop. Once the rector, Msgr. John Talesfore, has opened the doors, Archbishop Cordileone will be greeted by the papal nuncio to the U.S., Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, and by Archbishop George Niederauer, arch- bishop emeritus of San Francisco and currently apos- tolic administrator of San Francisco. The installation will take place at 2 p.m., Oct. 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the archdiocese. Archbishop Cordileone will reverence the crucifi x with a kiss, descend to the baptismal font to bless himself, and ascend from the font to bless those gath- ered around him. He will then process to the front of the cathedral and enter the sanctuary at the heart of the cathedral. Msgr. C. Michael Padazinski, chancellor of the Arch- diocese of San Francisco, will read the letter from Pope Benedict XVI appointing Archbishop Cordileone to the metropolitan see. After the Apostolic Letter is read, the people will acclaim “Thanks be to God.” At the conclusion of the reading of the Apostolic Letter, Archbishop Vigano will rise from the cathe- dra, or archbishop’s chair, approach Archbishop Cordileone and escort him to the foot of the steps in front of the cathedra. Archbishop Cordileone will ascend the steps and take his seat. Once Archbishop Cordileone sits in the cathedra he has formally as- sumed his place as archbishop of San Francisco.
