Auxiliary Bishops Ordination

Posted

On Monday afternoon, Aug. 4, the Feast of St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests, the archdiocese was blessed with the ordination of three new auxiliary bishops—from left above, Bishop John J. Jenik, Bishop John J. O’Hara and Bishop Peter J. Byrne. Cardinal Dolan, the principal consecrator, raises his arms with enthusiasm. Later, the new bishops came down from the sanctuary to extend their blessings to the congregation that packed St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the Mass.
