Dominican Fathers, parish express mixed feelings

SALT LAKE CITY — While assigned to St. Dominic’s Church in San Francisco, I received the news that our archbishop, Most Reverend William Levada, would be moving to Rome. I heard in my head, "BISHOP GEORGE NIEDERAUER!" Bishop Niederauer came immediately to mind as Archbishop Levada’s replacement.

But when I received my assignment as Pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Newman Center in Salt Lake City, I prayed, "No, God, keep Bishop Niederauer in Salt Lake City!" I very much wanted to work with Bishop Niederauer. >>>

'He is the best,' says Our Lady of Lourdes principal

SALT LAKE CITY — "He is the best!" One evening in November 1994, I received several calls from friends and family in Salt Lake informing me Msgr. George Niederauer from Los Angeles would be our new bishop. At the time I was a student in the graduate school of religion at Fordham University. Jesuit Father Vincent Novak, the dean of the school, spent his summers celebrating Mass for vacationing priests in Los Angeles, and I hoped he would know our new bishop. While Fr. Novak didn’t know him personally, he offered to make some calls to his friends in Los Angeles. A few hours later I was summoned to Fr. Novak’s office for the report, "He’s the best." How did the people of the Diocese of Salt Lake get so lucky? was the enthusiastic response to Fr. Novak’s inquiry. >>>
