Archbishop

Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone was welcomed for a pastoral visit to San Francisco’s St. Anthony’s on Nov. 20, 2020.

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco has asked the Marin County district attorney to prosecute those arrested after an Oct. 12 protest at a mission church to the “full extent of the law,” after several of the demonstrators defaced and pulled to the ground a statue of St. Junipero Serra.

No matter how rich or poor, no matter whether newly arrived or from families that have been here for many generations, it is our Catholic faith that unites us, and it is because of our Catholic faith that we are being put at the end of the line.

Catholics in San Francisco marched in eucharistic processions across the city on Sunday to protest the city’s continued restrictions on public worship.

Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone penned an op-ed in the Washington Post this week citing the First Amendment as he called for city officials to relax the current restrictions on public worship, which are some of the strictest in the country.
