Today at a Consistory in Rome, Archbishop Vincent Nichols was made a Cardinal by Pope Francis. Archbishop Nichols, from Liverpool, England, is the Archbishop of Westminster, and is head of the Church in England and Wales. Each cardinal is nominally parish priest of a parish in Rome, and Cardinal Nichols has been nominated as parish priest of St Alfonso — the church which houses the original shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and is part of the headquarters of our Redemptorist order. This is a significant moment for Redemptorists and for our shrine.
