CHICAGO (CNS) – Archbishop Blase J. Cupich, who will succeed Chicago Cardinal Francis E. George in mid-November, told the priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago that he has decided he will live in the rectory at Holy Name Cathedral.

He said that he made the decision in consultation with Cardinal George, Msgr. Dan Mayall, the cathedral’s pastor, and several Chicago priests.

The rectory is the former residence of retired Auxiliary Bishop Timothy J. Lyne, who died in 2013 at age 94. The living quarters are named for the late bishop.

Archbishop Cupich said that among other considerations, he wanted to live in a place where he can be most effective in serving all the people in the Archdiocese of Chicago. When his schedule permits, the archbishop intends to say daily Mass at the cathedral. The location also provides easy access to his office at Archbishop Quigley Center.

In deciding to live at the cathedral, the newly named archbishop said he also recognized the historical significance of the Archbishop’s Residence.
