Bishop Salvatore Joseph Cordileone Installed as Fourth Bishop of the Diocese of OaklandBishop Cordileone

In the formal Rite of Installation at the Cathedral of Christ the Light today, the Fourth Bishop of Oakland, Bishop Salvatore J. Cordileone began his service as spiritual leader of the East Bay’s 550,000 Catholics.

Bishop Cordileone previously served as Auxiliary Bishop in San Diego until his March 23, 2009 appointment as Bishop of Oakland by Pope Benedict XVI.

In a centuries-old ceremony at noon today in the cathedral Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, read the Papal letter announcing Bishop Cordileone’s appointment and then seated him in the formal chair (cathedra) as the Bishop of Oakland.

“I am grateful to the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, as well as humbled and honored, for the trust he has placed in me in naming me the Fourth Bishop of Oakland,” said Bishop Cordileone. “I ask for your prayers especially at this time, that I prove myself to be worthy of this trust.”

In addition to Archbishop Sambi, 24 U.S. bishops gathered to witness Bishop Cordileone’s installation. These Catholic leaders included Cardinal Roger Mahony from Los Angeles, San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer and the Second and Third Bishops of Oakland, respectively, Bishop John Cummins and Archbishop Allen Vigneron.
