| Archbishop Timothy Dolan. |
The following statements come from the bishops who will remain in Milwaukee after Dolan leaves Milwaukee on April 15th to take over fully at the New York archdiocese.
Most Reverend William P. Callahan, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
"All of us, of course, will greatly miss Archbishop Dolan. His deep faith and warm, personal charm will offer a new luster to the Church in New York.
"We here, in southeastern Wisconsin, must remember to effectively live the Gospel message with all the same joy and enthusiasm that Archbishop Dolan offered to us by his tremendous example. The true sense of what he leaves as his legacy is best framed in the living of life, not just thinking about what he did.
"The true sense of his work among us is living what he taught us to do: Cast out to the deep, be bold in living the mission of Jesus Christ; and never tire in doing the work of Jesus and His Church. So, we all move forward as Christ gives us grace to do."
Most Reverend Richard J. Sklba, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
"Archbishop Dolan leaves us with the memories of a pastor who loved priests and people greatly. He has brought his pastoral heart to so many families in moments of weakness or worry, great comfort to the sick and infirm and joyous laughter to everyone.
"My congratulations go to the Church in New York, and my prayers that this new challenge will be filled with blessings for him and for all whom he will come to love and serve!"
