CLEVELAND (November 19, 2007)
Statement of Cleveland Bishop Richard G. Lennon on the appointment of The Most Reverend Timothy Paul Broglio as Military Ordinary by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVIArchbishop Broglio will bring a great deal of Church experience to the Faithful and Clergy of the Military Ordinariate which he gained through many years of dedicated service to the Universal Church. That genuine pastoral care will certainly be a benefit to the many sons and daughters of the Church who are serving so courageously around the world in our Armed Services. The Archbishop gained his first experiences of pastoral life as parochial vicar at St. Margaret Mary parish here in the Diocese of Cleveland and so in a particular way we wish him God's blessings as he assumes this new and important ministry in the Church.
