Last night I celebrated Mass at Saint Rita's in the Bronx and received the relic of Blessed Carlos Acutis. He is a shining model for the faithful young people of the world who want to make a difference.

Let me begin by thanking you for the many calls, cards, messages of sympathy, and, most importantly, your prayers for the repose of the soul of my dear Mom, Shirley Jean Radcliffe Dolan and for the consolation of my family and me. They are much appreciated. Might I give you an update on a few things? I promise to be brief.

Usually I breeze through the three morning papers here – – the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and the Daily News – – if I look at them at all. But this morning two articles made me slow down and read them carefully.

Come join me as I take you to some of my favorite Catholic spots in New York over the coming weeks. From Old Saint Patrick’s to the Seton Shrine, and even a tavern in between — see Cardinal Dolan’s New York on my social media channels starting tomorrow at 10AM EST

A blessed summer to all! When I think about the word recreation, I think of God re-creating us. We all need time to pray, reflect & spend time with family. I’ll be taking some time off from social media, but you can still check my page for reflections, updates & previous videos
