ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Many Catholics in the Twin Cities got their first chance Sunday morning to meet Archbishop Bernard Hebda.
The new interim leader of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Archdiocese celebrated his first mass at the St. Paul Cathedral.
He is the replacement for Archbishop John Neinstedt, who resigned last month following several revelations in a decades-long child sex abuse scandal.
Many expected Hebda to address the scandal in his homily. Yet while he didn’t speak to the scandal specifically, he did talk about the church as a community, and how members are summoned and sent to do different things.
