A grand entrance with a little chuckle from Archibishop Dolan, "Happy easter everybody. We won't start without you."
As he was surrounded by so many in their /*Easter*/ Sunday best from the very youngest to the most mature at /*Saint Patrick's Cathedral*/ in /*Midtown Manhattan*/.
Dolan delivered his message to crowds of hundreds at several services, including tourists from across the world.
Escorted by his family, the Archbishop addressed the evolving church.
Dolan said, "You see a lot of demographic changes, not just in the church, but everywhere. We need to keep up with it. The church is about people, not buildings."

The /*Riverside Church*/ in /*Morningside Heights*/ welcomed its congregants to a day of fellowship, family, and friendship.
