Archbishop Jerome Listecki, archbishop of Milwaukee, paid a visit to the Bishop O’Connor Center in Madison recently in order to become better acquainted with Bishop Robert C. Morlino’s diocesan staff and collaborators.
As head of the Province of Milwaukee, Archbishop Listecki is charged with building unity and fraternity among all the bishops and dioceses of Wisconsin.
The archbishop began his visit by presiding at a Mass in the O’Connor Center chapel. At the beginning of the Mass, Bishop Morlino greeted the archbishop, saying, “We’re honored that you’re here.”
Bishop Morlino noted that Archbishop Listecki was presented with a pallium from the Holy Father as a sign of special affection and unity with the pope. “It is also a sign of the special responsibility that Archbishop Listecki has to keep us united,” said the bishop.
In his homily at the Mass, Archbishop Listecki said his purpose in coming to Madison was to visit his friend, Bishop Morlino, and meet the diocesan staff. “I thank you for the great job you do,” he told the staff.
He also thanked Bishop Morlino for his “leadership in the state.” Archbishop Listecki remarked that the bishops of Wisconsin get along very well, as was mentioned even during their recent ad limina visit in Rome with Pope Benedict XVI.
