Archbishop

Infrastructure to keep Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone in touch with the faithful now includes a podcast, “At your Word.” The title comes from the archbishop’s episcopal motto. The 30-minute podcast is available at https://archdiocesesf.libsyn.com.

I am well aware of the spiritual distress that so many of our people are experiencing due to the unavailability of attending Mass in person. I therefore wish to send you this communication to update you on steps we are taking to reopen for public Mass here in the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Father Raymund Reyes and Father Andrew Spyrow, vicars for clergy, announced clergy assignments on behalf of Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone April 21, 2020.

Our forty days of penance are fulfilled. Today on Easter, we bask in the glory of Christ’s Resurrection. After the fast, we feast.  

Archbishop Cordileone blessed and consecrated the sacred oils to be used in the church this coming year, noting that the oils are a reminder of the physical reality that is central to the faith. He also thanked those caring for the sick and needy during the pandemic, and he thanked priests for their pastoral creativity.
