Everyone who meets soon-to-be Cardinal DiNardo comments on the way he totally focuses on whoever he is speaking with, even in a crowd. In a crowded room of diocesan Formation Toward Christian Ministry graduates, when it was my turn to speak with him, he walked across the crowded room with me to have his picture taken with my friend who who couldn’t walk to him. After the picture he stayed and spoke with her. I can’t express how much it meant to her, and to those of us from our parish who were also there.

I truly see a modern-day apostle among his flock in Archbishop DiNardo…enough that I love it that others from his past retain their affection for him!
