Statement of The Most Reverend John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark, on the Appointment of The Most Reverend Sean Patrick O’Malley, OFMCap, as Archbishop-Elect of Boston
The people of the Church of Newark rejoice along with the people of the Church of Boston in the appointment of my friend and colleague, Bishop Sean O’Malley, as Archbishop-elect. He is an outstanding bishop, a man of prayer and of the Church. His extensive experience in leading dioceses and people through difficult times will be particularly valuable to the Archdiocese of Boston as it seeks healing in the days and months ahead.

It is my firm belief that Archbishop-elect O’Malley will be for the people of the Archdiocese of Boston an instrument of the Lord’s peace.
