We pray for Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop Emeritus of Galveston-Houston, and the College of Cardinals, who met for the twelfth and final General Congregation today. As the cardinals left the Pontifical North American College for the Vatican, dozens of seminarians — including Ethan Sicking, a seminarian from Houston — sent them off with applause and prayers ahead of the conclave, which begins tomorrow.
In a group photo, Cardinal DiNardo is seen with six of the ten U.S. cardinal electors, who will vote in the conclave, including (back row from left) Wilton Gregory, Blase Cupich, (front row from left) Joseph Tobin, Timothy Dolan and Robert McElroy.
Joining Cardinal DiNardo were also Christophe Cardinal Pierre, the Apostolic Nuncio to the U.S., along with Cardinal Cupich and Cardinal Lacroix of Canada.
