Archbishop Daniel Edward Pilarczyk was born in Dayton, Ohio, on August 12, 1934. After studies at the Pontifical Urban University in Rome, he

was ordained a priest on December 20, 1959. His ordination as bishop in 1974 and installation as archbishop in 1982 also were on December 20. His resignation as Archbishop of Cincinnati was accepted by Pope Benedict XVI on Dec. 21, 2009, the day after the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. At the time he was the country’s longest-tenured archbishop and the longest serving active bishop. In retirement he continued to serve generously in administering the sacraments.

The archbishop’s distinguished service to the American church included terms as vice president (1986-1989) and president (1989-1992) of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. He also chaired many committees of the conference, including those on education, liturgy, and doctrine.

Archbishop Pilarczyk wrote more than a dozen popular books and many pamphlets and articles. His best-selling book was Twelve Tough Issues: What the Church Teaches – and Why, recently revised as Twelve Tough Issues – And More. His most recent were When God Speaks and Live Letters. As he approached the end of his ministry as archbishop, he launched the “Grateful Believers” initiative to heighten awareness of God’s blessings and the proper response in stewardship. He wrote a score of articles for The Catholic Telegraph and invited dozens of others to share their own stories as grateful believers. In retirement, he wrote and recorded a daily 90-second homily on the Gospel reading of the day, “Sharing the Word,” which was heard on the Internet and broadcast over more than 100 radio stations. In 2011, he was honored by the Salesian Guild as Catholic Communicator of the Year. In addition to a doctorate in sacred theology from Pontifical Urban University (1961), Archbishop Pilarczyk held an M.A. in classics from Xavier University in Cincinnati (1965) and a Ph.D. in classics from the University of Cincinnati (1969). Every major college and university in Cincinnati awarded him an honorary doctorate, including Hebrew Union College / Jewish Institute of Religion (1997). The University of Cincinnati’s College of Arts and Science also named him a Distinguished Alumnus of the Year in 2001.

He had a strong interest in education. From 1963 to 1974 he was on the faculty of the former St. Gregory Seminary in Cincinnati, the last six years as Rector. While auxiliary bishop of Cincinnati from 1974 to 1982, he was Director of Educational Services for the Archdiocese. Archbishop Pilarczyk ordained more than 100 priests and three bishops. He conferred confirmation on more than 74,000 people.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 122

I rejoiced when I heard them say:“Let us go to God’s house.”And now our feet are standingwithin your gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a citystrongly compact.It is there that the tribes go up,the tribes of the Lord.

For Israel’s law it is,there to praise the Lord’s name.There were set the thrones of judgmentof the house of David.

For the peace of Jerusalem pray:“Peace be to your homes!May peace reign in your walls,in your palaces, peace!”

For love of my family and friendsI say: “Peace upon you.”For love of the house of the LordI will ask for your good.

Presentation and Preparation of the Gifts Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.Fresh and green are the pastureswhere he gives me repose.Near restful waters he leads me,to revive my drooping spirit.

He guides me along the right path;he is true to his name.If I should walk in the valley of darknessno evil would I fear.You are there with your crook and your staff;with these you give me comfort.

Let eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints for ever, for Thou art merciful.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine: Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,

quia pius es.

1. I am the Bread of life. You who come to me shall not hunger; and who believe in me shall not thirst. No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.

2. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world, and if you eat of this bread, you shall live for ever, you shall live for ever. 3. Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you.

4. I am the Resurrection, I am the life. If you believe in me, even though you die, you shall live for ever, you shall live for ever.

Archdiocesan Prayer for Vocations

Almighty Father, You have created us for some definite purpose. Grant us the grace to know the path You have

planned for us in this life and to respond with a generous “Yes.” Make our archdiocese, parishes, homes and hearts fruitful ground for Your gift of vocations. May our young people respond to Your call with courage and zeal. Stir among our men a desire and the strength to be good and holy priests. Bless us with consecrated religious and those called to a chaste single life, permanent deacons, and faithful husbands and wives, who are a sign of Christ’s love for His Church. We commend our prayer for vocations to You, Father, through the intercession of Mary our Mother, in the Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty and merciful God,eternal Shepherd of your people,

listen to our prayersand grant your servant, Daniel, our archbishop,to whom you entrusted the care of this Church,may enter the joy of his eternal Master,there to receive the rich reward of his labors.We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
