The principal and then all bishops lay hands



The book of the gospels is held over his head




while Archibishop Vlazny sings the prayer of ordination


then we have the annointing with sacred chrism


and then the ring, mitre, and crozier.
The mitre chosen by Bishop Cary is an "Ambrosian mitre"


Then the new Bishop is seated in the cathedra









Today is the birthday of Blessed John Paul II
