Day 2: AmP Twittering Abp. Dolan Mass/Vespers in NYC!

I am twittering my travels to New York City for the Installation Events of Archbishop Timothy Dolan, as well as taking photos and writing down my experiences for a future post.

Today I will be attending the Mass of Installation at 2pm:

At the April 15 Mass of Installation, a procession will begin at 1:30 p.m. with representatives of various groups, ministries and organizations of the archdiocese, as well as bishops, archbishops and cardinals. Cardinal Egan and Archbishop Dolan will be at the end of the procession.

As the procession enters the sanctuary, Archbishop Sambi, the papal nuncio, will go to the cathedra, with Archbishop Dolan sitting across from him in the sanctuary.

Archbishop Sambi will again read the letter of appointment from the pope and, as in the prior day's ceremony, Msgr. Belford will show it to the board of consultors. He will then notarize it, in an official installation proceeding.

Archbishop Dolan will then be led to the cathedra, where he will be greeted by New York's auxiliary bishops, the bishops of New York State, bishops who head other dioceses, and representatives of the clergy, religious and 20 ethnic communities of the archdiocese, as well as by representatives of other Christian faiths and of non-Christian faiths.

The Mass will follow, with a homily by Archbishop Dolan.
