Archbishop Kurtz for President

Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, Archbishop of Louisville and formerly a priest of the Diocese of Allentown, was elected President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for a three year term. 
Archbishop Kurtz lived as a resident priest in our Cathedral parish for many years (1976 - 1988). He is remembered fondly by so many people for his outstanding kindness and pastoral charity. Bishop Barres said, "the election of Archbishop Kurtz to this important leadership post by his brother bishops across the country is a point of pride for all of the faithful in the Diocese of Allentown where he served so faithfully for so many years."
Let us pray that he may have abudant grace to fulfill this important office.
