Welcome Archbishop Robert J. Carlson!
For almost nine months we have been praying for the future Archbishop of St. Louis, and our prayers have been richly rewarded. On April 21, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI named Bishop Robert J. Carlson, Bishop of the Diocese of Saginaw, to be the Archbishop of St. Louis. He will build on the legacy of his two immediate predecessors, Cardinal Rigali and Archbishop Burke. I have known him for a number of years, and I have been most deeply impressed with his pastoral skills. He is a man of prayer, of thoughtful reflection and of action. He is an outstanding teacher, preacher, leader and administrator. Like Archbishop Burke, he is extremely gifted in attracting vocations to the priesthood. We welcome him with our prayers, our open arms and our open hearts!
