| Cardinal Dolan, seated next to Rev. Dr. Gilford T. Monrose of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships |
You CAN go home again. This week I attended a convening of healthcare leaders sponsored by my former employer, the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation. Sony Hall in the NYC Theater District was packed, and I was blessed to see so many friends / former colleagues there… and inspired by the program.
“Unprecedented times” was a theme of the day, and MCHF’s Channon Lucas issued a call for “radical empathy” and later introduced CEO Msgr. Greg Mustaciuolo, who closed the day citing the importance of persistence and perseverance. (See https://lnkd.in/eecU88Wz for his recent City & State interview.)
A highlight for me among the speakers was Cardinal Dolan, who talked about the inherent dignity and worth of every person, and the importance of faith in providing people with hope.
The cardinal also talked about Mother Cabrini’s life of service, and he couldn’t resist citing the New York folklore of invoking her name when trying to find a parking space in the city: “Mother Cabrini, Mother Cabrini, please find a spot for my little machiney!”
