Bishop Vasa is in there somewhere, as is the Apostolic Nuncio
The gloria was sung in Latin. beautifully!
Bishop Vlazny chanted the introit, in English. He has a beautiful voice!
Bishops Vlazny, Vasa, and Skylstad come to thr fore while the choir sings Veni Creator Spiritus
The apostolic nuncio, Archbishop Vigano, reads the order from the Holy Father
Bishop designate, his excellency Liam Cary (on right)
examination
prostration during the litany
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
