O'Brien on Schaefer

Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien has issued a statement on former Baltimore Mayor and Maryland Gov. William Donald Schaefer, who died Monday at age 89:

"The prayers of the more than half-million Catholics of the Archdiocese of Baltimore are with the former Governor's family and with their fellow citizens of Baltimore and Maryland at the loss of one of the greatest civic leaders we have known. As mayor and governor, William Donald Schaefer was a partner and friend to my predecessors, championing the needs of others throughout his many years of service. As we celebrate this Holy Week, we encourage prayers for the repose of the soul of our late Governor, and give thanks to God for his selfless service."
