CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
HELENA, Mont. -- People started arriving an hour before the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday, June 22, at the Cathedral of St. Helena.
Nearly every Sunday, Bishop Robert C. Morlino celebrates this Mass at his beautiful cathedral. But this Sunday was special.
The Mass would be his official farewell to the people of Helena, with a reception following the Mass. Bishop Morlino would also bless the altar following a renovation of the cathedral. And he would honor Msgr. Kevin S. O'Neill, cathedral rector, who had been recently named a Prelate of Honor by Pope John Paul II.
