Addressing the people gathered, Fr. Conkle said, "There are many achievements to which a man attains throughout his life. Many of them come with various titles and honors. However, the title I hold dearest is that of brother. To be among you as one of you, your brother in our Brother, the Lord Jesus. Let us all do our part and go about the Family business."
