For the people of Paris, Monday's fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame seemed like a death. However, Holy Week and Easter remind the Parisians and the rest of us to believe in new beginnings.

St. Patrick’s joins cathedrals and churches throughout France and the world in ringing the bells to honor the great spiritual and cultural heritage of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, will be discussing the devastating fire at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame on the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral this afternoon at 4:30 P.M.

I just went next door to our own beloved Cathedral, Saint Patrick’s, to ask the intercession of Notre Dame, our Lady, for the Cathedral at the heart of Paris, and of civilization, now in flames! God preserve this splendid house of prayer, and protect those battling the blaze.

The Governor has announced that he believes that physician-assisted suicide should be legalized. This is a very dangerous path that will threaten our weakest and most vulnerable citizens.

With Palm Sunday we commence the “journey of a lifetime,” a trip bringing us not just back home here but to our true home of eternal life.

A major relic of St. John Vianney, the saint who is held up as the ideal of what a Catholic priest should be, is set to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral and other sites in the New York metropolitan area from April 4 to 11. The national relic pilgrimage is being sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

What are we doing with the time God has given to us in this life? Does it seem to be flying by? Can we even account for the time? A Sunday homily gives pause to think about this.

Like any other priest, one of the duties I most savor is to hear confessions.

The so-called "Equality Act" pending in Congress, which would add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the list of protected categories under federal civil rights laws, will actually make Christians and others who adhere to traditional sexual beliefs into second-class citizens.

Do you like standing in line? I guess that depends on what we’re standing in line for!

During Lent, we are asked to sacrifice or limit our consumption of something we would truly miss. Perhaps it's that object we cannot resist picking up and consulting every few minutes.

Last Saturday, February 23, I celebrated the 10th anniversary of my appointment as your archbishop by Pope Benedict XVI.

The US Senate failed to pass a bill that would ban infanticide, due to the steadfast opposition by Senate Democrats. What was previously unthinkable is now the latest bastion of pro-abortion extremism.

The Governor has included in his annual budget a proposal that would legalize commercial surrogate parenting -- that is, the sale of babies. This would treat women and babies as commodities to be bought and sold and would expose vulnerable women to economic exploitation -- even to the point of pressuring them to have abortions.

Shortly after the New Year, I took a personal weekend and flew to Ireland.  While I always cherish a visit to the Emerald Isle, this was not really a “vacation” and I certainly wasn’t there for the weather! No, what caused me to cross the Atlantic was something much more meaningful: the opportunity to visit, however briefly, with Sister Bosco and several of the other Mercy Sisters who taught me at Holy Infant parish school in my hometown of Ballwin, Missouri. It was they who, along with my Mom, Dad, and grandparents, nurtured my faith, inspired my vocation, gave me a first-rate education…and instilled in me a profound appreciation and love for Catholic schools.
