Cardinal Justin Rigali was named a cardinal in 2003 by Pope John Paul II just a week before he left St. Louis to become Archbishop of Philadelphia.
Cardinal Rigali had earlier been appointed to Philadelphia, and only a week remained before his installation there.

Cardinal Rigali was the only American named then.
