I look forward to the working relationship that will begin with my new role and I anticipate great things from the Pro Sanctity Family across the United States.

I am sincerely yours in the Lord,

Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss

Archbishop of Omaha

My Mother, My Confidence!

Dear Teresa,

We are happy and thrilled by this wonderful news!

Archbishop Elden Francis Curtiss' acceptance of our invitation to be Moderator of the Pro Sanctity Movement in the USA will make you feel more united, more closely linked to Peter and to the Church.

Certainly Bishop Giaquinta, and all of our brothers and sisters in heaven are rejoicing together with all of us.

Congratulations to all of you --Sister Oblates, Brother Animators and Sodales--and to all the members of the Pro Sanctity Movement--in anticipation of seeing one another in January in Rome and in April in Omaha for the Feast of the Alliance.

Please send my regards to my brother Sodales. Pray for me.

I always remember you.

Bishop Giaquinta, pray for us.

Fondly,

don Paolo Cardona
