‘The dance’ begins: Milwaukee archbishop installed
MILWAUKEE — Frigid Wisconsin temperatures hovering near single digits were a sharp contrast to the warm, festive mood inside the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on January 4, as the Milwaukee Archdiocese welcomed its 11th shepherd, Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki.
Nearly 1,000 were on hand at the cathedral for the installation of the 60-year-old Chicago native, most recently bishop of La Crosse.
Pope Benedict XVI announced his appointment of Archbishop Listecki to lead the 10-county archdiocese and its 643,000 Catholics on November 14, 2009.
Archbishop’s job description: governor, teacher, sanctifier
MILWAUKEE — Combining reflection on Jn 21:15-19 with a delineation of church teaching on the duties of the bishop, Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki preached his first homily as Milwaukee’s 11th archbishop during his Mass of Installation, January 4.
