Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on October 21, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Archbishop Allen Henry Vigneron! Ever since your arrival in Detroit back in 2009, you've brought warmth, wisdom—and yes—even an impeccable sense of humor to our Church. Your leadership during the Synod initiative made such a powerful impression; you'd probably make even Vatican committees smile.

May this birthday find you celebrating all the great successes you've beautifully guided—especially nurturing faith communities and fostering unity across diverse neighborhoods. Wherever life takes us through spiritual contemplation or pastoral meetings (we've heard they're quite thrilling!), we sincerely hope there's plenty of cake along with blessings today!

Cheers to another year!
