FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., - - It may have been a record for the number of concelebrants gathered around the altar at Holy Trinity Newman Center in Flagstaff near Northern Arizona University. More than 20 priests concelebrated a special Mass with Bishop John P. Dolan of the Diocese of Phoenix June 9.
Bishop John Dolan’s first experience at Holy Trinity Newman Center in Flagstaff on March 23rd was similar to student’s first experience at the center, having trouble finding the building. Realizing that he couldn’t find the center, Bishop Dolan called chaplain Father Matthew Lowry for more direction. Students caught wind of the situation and ran outside into blizzard conditions to meet the bishop at the nearest intersection and direct him to the center.
