Welcome to Arcbishop-elect Robert Carlson

Having studied at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis for 4 years, I want to welcome Bishop Robert Carlson of Saginaw, Michigan as the Archbishop-elect of St. Louis. To my friends in St. Louis, I say congratulations on getting a new bishop. His views and beliefs are very much in line with the Catholic Church. As bishop of Saginaw, he accomplished many things. The Archdiocese of St. Louis web site posted the press release of Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan which included the following accomplishments:

• Bishop Carlson created the Mother Teresa Endowment Fund in October 2005 to assist struggling mothers awaiting the birth of a child. It has provided assistance to more than 375 families.
• He supported the Gospel of Life by providing Abortions Alternative Information Inc., with offices within the parish center of St. Mary Cathedral in order to continue its life-giving ministry.
• He has led hundreds of young people and adults to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. each January.

I wish Archbishop-elect Carlson well in his new ministry and I will pray for him and the Archdiocese of St. Louis as they begin this new chapter in their Catholic faith.
