On July 11, beneath the mosaicked domes the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, His Eminence William Cardinal Levada, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, presided over the episcopal ordination of Archbishop Augustine DiNoia, O.P., the newly named Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. With over a dozen bishops, nearly 200 priests, and scores of the lay faithful in attendance, the ceremony provided participants a veritable feast for the eyes, the ears, and the worshipping heart. The Mass concluded with Archbishop DiNoia's brief but powerful words of acknowledgment.
Please pray for Archbishop DiNoia as he prepares to assume his new duties in Rome.
