Amid the quiet dignity of the Belson Moot Courtroom in St.
John's University's School of Law, the University honored His
Eminence Angelo Cardinal Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State
and Vice Dean of the College of Cardinals, with an
honorary Doctor of Laws degree during a special convocation on the
Queens campus.
The convocation took place on Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2004. Evoking
St. John's historic ties to the Vatican, Rev. Donald J. Harrington,
C.M., President of St. John's, praised the Cardinal's "staunch
representation of the Church on the world stage." We invite you to
