Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on January 16, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Cardinal Francis George! From Portland to Chicago, you've certainly mastered the art of moving up—literally and spiritually. Your leadership has inspired countless hearts, and your sermons have kept even the sleepiest parishioners awake!

Your dedication as Archbishop since 1997 has been remarkable. Whether guiding communities or sharing wisdom with humor and grace, you've made faith feel fresh again. May your birthday be filled with joy, laughter—and perhaps a cake big enough to match your impressive legacy.

Here's to another year of blessings and fewer meetings—because even Cardinals deserve a break sometimes! Happy Birthday!
