This morning, we came together in prayer and lifted our hearts in gratitude to God for the more than 20 years of faithful leadership and steadfast service of Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann at his Mass of Thanksgiving.

Over the past week, we’ve shared his remarkable legacy with you. It’s a legacy marked by courage, compassion, and a deep love for Christ and His Church.

We thank Archbishop Naumann for his priesthood, for the spiritual fatherhood he has shared so generously, and for the genuine care and friendship he has offered as the Shepherd of our archdiocese.

With grateful hearts, we pray God bless him abundantly in this next chapter
