On the joyous occasion of Archbishop William Lori’s installation (May 16, 2012) as Archbishop of Baltimore, the Maryland Catholic Conference joins Catholics across Maryland in congratulating Archbishop Lori and in warmly welcoming him back to Maryland where he had served as auxiliary bishop for several years in the Archdiocese of Washington.

Archbishop Lori has distinguished himself as a leader on many fronts including religious liberty, marriage, respect for life, education and the protection of children.

We look forward to reintroducing him to Annapolis and Maryland’s government leaders as we continue to stand strong in the public square and speak out for the vulnerable and all those in need.

The installation Mass will be televised live by Catholic TV, EWTN and WBAL-TV and streamed live on the web at wjz.com and wbal.com.
