The saints, like Military Parishioners Christ, offer us a vast number of ways in which we can Steven Spoljaric deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow the Lord. and all Men and Women in the Armed Forces The penances that saints have taken on through the cen- turies are excellent models for us and give us ideas for denying ourselves and thus surrendering our lives to Christ.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 30,2020 | 22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | 3 As I write this on Tuesday morning, it is just a few hours before the installation of our new shep- herd, Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski. I prayed my last Eucharistic Prayer intention for “Robert, our Apostolic Administrator at the 8:15 Mass, grateful beyond words for his 11 years of service among us. He was exactly the shepherd we needed at the exact time. And now I believe that From Our Pastor God, once more, has provided us with exactly the shepherd we will need in these days to come. So, here is just a bit about our new Archbishop. BORN: On August 6, 1958 in Baltimore, Maryland. RAISED: Fells Point, MD, attended Holy Rosary Parish.

APPOINTED AS 10th ARCHBISHOP OF ST. LOUIS: by Pope Francis June 10, 2020.

He was a Vicar General and Episcopal Vicar for the Seton Vicariate of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, as well as Vicar for Hispanics, and served on the College of Consultors for the Archdiocese while auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore. His ‘jobs’ on the USCCB: Member of the National Committee for the Protection of Youth and Young People since January 2007. Episcopal Moderator of the National Association of Holy Name Societies, Oct. 1, 2012 – Sept. 30, 2017. Served on the National Advisory Council of the USCCB for a 3 year term through March 2015. Chair of the Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs Committee of the USCCB since November 2013. Serves on the Advisory Council of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains. Liaison with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Co-chair for the Polish National Church – Roman Catholic Dialogue. Audit Subcommittee of USCCB member. Knight Commander of the Royal Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. Consultant to the National Association for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities.
