The Holy Father named Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland to be the ninth Archbishop of San Francisco. A terrific appointment.

We must pray for him. And yes, it will be a long, slow process. It’s just very exciting to have an orhtodox bishops to deal with Nancy Pelosi.
It’s just back from the corner of Tropicana and Pearl.
Very pretty and unique from the outside.
Interesting to hear Mass in Vietnamese.
