Ordination of Bishop Richard Henning on Long Island

I'm very excited to attend the episcopal Ordination of Bishop -Elect Richard Henning tomorrow at St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre, Long Island, NY. Bishop Henning is very deserving of this great honor. I know his good works from volunteering at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington, NY for many years as part of a fundraising volunteer group, "The Friends of the Seminary." I was both the Vice President and President of that good organization. I am still an active member. Bishop Henning as the previous rector of the Seminary (before being appointed an Auxiliary Bishop by Bishop Barres) worked to make sure the Seminary remained vital and he contributed much to making sure it was a place of retreat, learning, growth and financial stability. The Missionaries of the Most Holy Eucharist reside there and give holy retreats there, year round, which has helped make the Seminary known throughout Long Island and beyond.  The grounds of the Seminary are beautiful, close to the Long Island Sound and a place where nature remains unspoiled.
So it's all good.
God's blessings upon Bishop Henning and his future good works for the Church of God.
