It was a great pleasure to learn that our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has named Archbishop John P. Foley as Pro-Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

Archbishop Foley has served faithfully in Rome for many years as President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. In this role he has worked zealously to communicate globally the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pope Benedict XVI has now entrusted him with another important mission in the Church. He is called to direct and guide the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in its service to the Church of Jerusalem. This involves working for the well-being and stability of the Christian community throughout the Holy Land.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is proud of Archbishop Foley and his dedicated service to the Apostolic See and the universal Church. We assure him of our prayerful support at this time when the Holy Father renews his trust in Archbishop Foley's faithful and effective collaboration.
