 | | BALTIMORE (Map, News) - More than three decades of Baltimore’s Catholic leadership were in the sanctuary of the Basilica of the Assumption in downtown Baltimore for Thursday’s noontime Mass as Cardinal William Keeler introduced his successor, Archbishop Edwin O’Brien, at his first public ceremony. |
 | | Keeler’s predecessor, retired Archbishop William Borders, 94 and moving slowly, also was one of the vested concelebrants, who included all four auxiliary bishops, to welcome their new leader. |
 | | After the Mass, Keeler, wearing a cardinal’s red biretta and cassock with a white surplice, haltingly left the sanctuary following the other bishops and priests, with a cane in one hand and his other on the arm of a priest. |
