Meeting with the Archbishop

Well, he's a nice guy. Very personable. Archbishop O'Brien that is. He is the newest Archbishop of Baltimore - replacing the retired William Cardinal Keeler.

Our staff - Dave, Leo, myself (minus our intern and volunteers) and a Board member - Fr. Erik Arnold met with the Archbishop yesterday to give him a feel for ChristLife's ministry. He was very supportive and agreed to continue supporting us as an apostolate of the Archdiocese.

So we are very encouraged by the meeting and glad to be in communion and in service to our local bishop. In this way we are connected not only to his leadership in Baltimore - but to all the bishops around the world in the Catholic Church - especially with the bishop of Rome. Pretty cool to have that connection.... Well, I'm sure there more to report on from the meeting and from the actions that follow, but, for now this will do.

And in case you haven't, listen in to the Archbishop - I interviewed him for our podcast a few months back and recorded his address to young adults at a bar in Baltimore.
