"Although we are virtual, we are still powerful, and our message resounds from coast to coast all across our Archdiocese.Our acknowledgment of the blessings of life and liberty, blessings for which the Heroes of 1821 shed their blood, is a monumental moment in the one-hundred-year history of our Holy Archdiocese of America. The distance of time, of land and sea, and even of our cultural acclimation, cannot separate us from the profound depths of meaning that this Anniversary contains."—Archbishop Elpidophoros of America
