On January third of this year the diocese of Rochester installed Bishop Matano as our new Bishop following Bishop Clark's retirement. Today just like any other Sunday I woke up, got dressed and went to church with my family. However unlike every Sunday, today was special because today was the day that our new Bishop was coming to preside over mass at Immaculate Conception Church. After a preyer filled mass most of the congregation including the Bishop went down to Carges Hall for a reception. There I met the Bishop and talked to him personally for about twenty minutes. He is a man small in stature but large in character. The whole two or three hours of the reception he stood not eating or drinking but talking to every person that wanted to talk to him. When it came time for my family to talk to him at the very end he seemed neither tired nor bored but simply eager to meet more of his Catholic Brothers and Sisters. He is truly a holy man and meeting him and conversing will forever be a memorable moment and a special memory.
