Archbishop Gomez gives emotional farewell to San Antonio; reception Mass slated May 26 in Los Angeles
San Antonio, Texas, May 18, 2010 (CNA) -- Archbishop Jose Gomez, recently named coadjutor archbishop of Los Angeles, presided over a farewell Mass on Sunday in Texas, giving an emotional goodbye to the Archdiocese of San Antonio, which he has led since 2005. More than 1,500 faithful gathered to bid farewell and offer their best wishes to their shepherd at St. Mark the Evangelist Cathedral, often bursting into standing ovations in honor of the archbishop, the Houston Chronicle reported. Presenting him with numerous gifts, including relics, bouquets and artwork, parishioners lauded the prelate for his five years of service to the San Antonio community. “You have been an amazing, an amazing, simply amazing father to us all,” said John Nolan, one of the current 100-plus men enrolled at Assumption Seminary, who presented the archbishop with a relic of St. Anthony of Padua.
