Yes, I am in the Diocese of Albany. You ask a good question. A quick Google search turned up the tributes given at Hubbard's 25th anniversary celebration. I believe the following will more than answer that question.
It gives me great pleasure to be among those invited to salute Howard Hubbard on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his ordination as Bishop of Albany.
I have known this great man for more than 40 years. I have cherished his friendship as fellow seminarian, brother priest, my bishop and brother bishop.
In all of those phases of our lives together, Howard's personal qualities have impressed me in many ways. Among those qualities are a wonderful mind, a generous spirit, and a reverent and compassionate disposition toward all.
In quiet and effective ways, he has made all of his wide gifts available to the Church and civic communities. His concern for and commitment to the poor have shown through all the years. His preaching, speaking and writings have been gifts not only to the Diocese of Albany but also to dioceses in every region of our nation. I most certainly include the Diocese of Rochester in that number.
Mostly, I salute with fine admiration the commitment Bishop Hubbard has made to the renewal of the Church to which Vatican Council II called all of us. His Episcopal motto, "Rejoice, We are God's People," is one that he has lived heart and soul during his 25 years of episcopal ministry in and for the Church.
With you, I thank God for the gift Howard is to all of us. With you, I pray that we will enjoy his friendship and leadership for many more years.
Most. Rev. Matthew Clark
Bishop Clark's motto is: "God’s Love Endures Forever."
Not much of a clue. Hubbard became bishop in 1977; Clark in 1979. Bishop of Rochester
