Cardinal Timothy Dolan Celebrates Columbus Day Mass, Greets Parade Participants

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Cardinal Timothy Dolan served as the principal celebrant for the annual Columbus Day Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Monday, Oct. 12. The liturgy was concelebrated by several bishops and priests, including Archbishop Christophe-Zakhia El-Kassis, the new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, and Archbishop Charles D. Balvo, the former apostolic nuncio to Australia.

During the homily, Archbishop Balvo spoke about the immigrant experience associated with Columbus Day. He shared his own family history, noting that his ancestors traveled to the United States to seek freedom, build better lives, and serve God within the Church.

Other clergy present included Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan, Bishop Emeritus Nicholas DiMarzio, and New York auxiliary bishops Edmund J. Whalen, Gerardo Colacicco, and Joseph Espaillat. Monsignor Thomas Sandi and Monsignor Hilary Franco also participated in the Mass alongside various clergy of Italian heritage.
