Bishop Bonnar celebrates Mass in Youngstown in anticipation of Conclave
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Roman Catholics around the world will be watching and waiting for a sign from the Vatican starting Wednesday as members of the College of Cardinals gather to select the next Pope.
All around the Diocese of Youngstown, churches held services to pray for those who will be part of the Conclave. Bishop David Bonnar led the Tuesday afternoon Mass at St. Columba Cathedral in Youngstown. He compared the liturgical readings to the work to be done by the Cardinals in Rome.
'No doubt in these days, especially these days of meetings. The Cardinal electors have been looking for a sign or some indication as to what the Holy Spirit desires,' Bonnar said.
The Bishop urged Catholics in the Diocese to pray for those who will be electing the new Pope in Rome as well as for the new Pontiff once he is selected.
