At the
end of Mass, Father Ryan, speaking on behalf of the Cathedral Parish,
presented Archbishop Sartain with a book celebrating his nine years of
ministry. At the end of Mass, Archbishop's coat-of-arms was hung
in the Cathedral vestibule alongside those of his predecessors.

thank him and wish him well in retirement.
