Statement of Archbishop Robert J. Carlson on the Occasion of the Elevation of Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan

 “The Archdiocese of St. Louis offers its prayerful best wishes to Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York.  On behalf of the priests, religious, and lay Catholics of the Archdiocese I extend my congratulations to the Cardinal-designate and well-loved St. Louis Catholic.

I know that many priests, religious and lay people in the Archdiocese of St. Louis are proud to have their friend and former co-worker receive this important responsibility. Let us join together in prayer for Cardinal-designate Dolan and for the Sacred College of Cardinals as they serve Pope Benedict XVI and his successors in carrying out the mission of the Universal Church.”
