In an effort to build rapport with the state Legislature, Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley joined some some 60 state lawmakers today for a meeting in which speakers highlighted the Boston archdiocese’s involvement in youth programs, assistance to immigrants, parochial schools, and assistance to the needy in 144 cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts.

Though O’Malley has met with legislative leaders previously, today’s meeting was his first with rank and file lawmakers since he was named to his post in 2003. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
