Statement of His Eminence Cardinal Law on Reverend Monsignor Peter Conley
May 14, 2002
For the past eleven years Monsignor Peter Conley has served the Archdiocese
as editor and executive editor of The Pilot. During his tenure The Pilot
has greatly benefited from his intelligence, his wit, and his skills as
a gifted writer. His commitment to ecumenism, interreligious affairs,
and social justice is well known. He has fulfilled well the hope he expressed
when assuming his role as editor, he has indeed been "an instrument in
the middle of the public dialogue on issues confronting everyone."
Because he is first a priest, Monsignor Conley had expressed for some
time his desire to concentrate on his new duties as pastor of St. Jude
Parish in Norfolk, as well as his many responsibilities as vicar of the
Norwood region.
I am particularly grateful to Monsignor Conley for his willingness to
have continued with The Pilot to provide his successor assistance during
the transition.
Monsignor Conley's long commitment to the media, first as Director of
Communications of the Archdiocese and then as editor of The Pilot leave
a great legacy. While The Pilot loses a great writer, his parishioners
and brother priests in his Vicariate will certainly reap the benefits
of this action.
