The following is a letter to the faithful from Archbishop Carlson regarding the Faith for the Future capital campaign for the Kenrick-Glennon seminary.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am overjoyed by your welcome at my installation on June 10. Although I have only been here a short time, I have come to know the vibrancy of our community, which was so evident that day. As I mentioned in my homily, we are blessed here in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, the “Rome of the West,” with many gifts. We have a strong Catholic school system, sharing our faith with the next generation of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. We have a dynamic outreach to the poor. And the presence of so many religious communities enriches us all. I could go on, but our gifts are too numerous to list here. Please know that I am humbled to be welcomed so generously into your community.
