His
Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan was named Archbishop of New York by Pope

on April 15, 2009.
He
had served as Archbishop of Milwaukee since he was named by Pope John Paul II
on June 25, 2002. He was installed as Milwaukee's 10th archbishop on August 28,
2002, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo,
Papal Nuncio to the United States, installed Archbishop Dolan.
Cardinal
Dolan was ordained to the priesthood on June 19, 1976. He then served as
associate pastor at Immacolata Parish in Richmond Heights, Mo., until 1979 when
he began studies for a doctorate in American Church History at the Catholic
University of America. Before completing the doctorate, he spent a year
researching the late Archbishop Edwin O'Hara, a founder of the Catholic
Biblical Association. Archbishop O'Hara's life and ministry was the subject of
the Archbishop's doctoral dissertation.
On
his return to St. Louis, Cardinal Dolan served in parish ministry from 1983-87,
during which time he was also liaison for the late Archbishop John L. May in
the restructuring of the college and theology programs of the archdiocesan
seminary system.
In

Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C. When he returned to St. Louis in 1992,

director of Spiritual Formation and professor of Church History. He was also an
adjunct professor of theology at Saint Louis University.

where he served until June 2001. While in Rome, he also served as a visiting
professor of Church History at the Pontifical Gregorian University and as a
faculty member in the Department of Ecumenical Theology at the Pontifical
University of St. Thomas Aquinas. The work of the Cardinal in the area of
seminary education has influenced the life and ministry of a great number of
priests of the new millennium.
On
June 19, 2001 – the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood – then
Fr. Dolan was named the Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis by Pope John Paul II. The
