On Thursday, March 7, Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez ordained Most Reverend Keith J. Chylinski, Most Reverend Christopher R. Cooke, and Most Reverend Efren V. Esmilla to the Episcopacy at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, in front of a filled-to-capacity congregation and tens of thousands more who viewed the liturgy on livestreamed video.
CatholicPhilly, the official digital news agency of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, presents the following commemorative digital supplement celebrating this joyous occasion in the life of our local Church. You can view the special edition here.
Please join in continued prayer for our new Auxiliary Bishops as they take on this new role in service to the Church. Ad multos annos!
