Installation Mass Coverage Announced

20 MAY 2010. I received word today that CatholicTV.org and CatholicTV will carry coverage of the installation mass of Archbishop-elect Wenski as Archbishop of Miami at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Miami. The CatholicTV mass coverage will begin at 8:00 p.m. on 1 June 2010. The archdiocesan website will also carry a live stream of the installation mass beginning at 2:00 p.m.

Word from Archbishop Wenski's former Diocese of Orlando is that they are saddened to see him go, although  his involvement in more national issues (i.e., immigration reform), gave the general impression there that he would one day get a promotional call to the pallium. However, Archbishop-elect Wenski's move from the I-4 corridor to the tropics of South Florida is not an unknown journey for him. He served as Auxiliary Bishop in Miami from 1997-2003 before being named to the Central Florida see.

And, a note of thanksgiving: the Archdiocese of Miami has been blessed to have had the gentle and constant leadership of Archbishop Favalora since 1994. A native of New Orleans, Archbishop Favalora will be missed by Catholics across the state.

More to follow as it develops.
