EPISCOPAL LETTER

Dear Eminence Stephen and Reverend Monsignor Philip Mason

We would like to congratulate to R. Monsignor Philip Mason for receiving the role of auxiliary bishop of Archdiocese of Worksan. It is such a joy for all of us here, in Saint Francis of Assisi Diocese. On receipt of the official news, our hearts filled great joy. Once again we experience the grace of God by welcoming a new member of the Second Life Episcopate. There are so many sheep that are looking for a shepherd. The role of auxiliary bishop is a very responsible role, difficult, with many obstacles to overcome. In deep prayer, asking God for strength for both of you - for Eminence Byers and Monsignor Mason. Only cooperation gives the fruit awaited by Christ.
We will be very honored to pray together during the celebration of the Episcopal Consecration liturgy, on 22nd Februrary 2014. May God be with You.

Signed by

Cardinal Raphael Zimer

Bishop of Saint Francis of Assisi Diocese
