Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on October 10, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Archbishop Mansell! May your day be filled with as much joy and laughter as the countless sermons you've delivered—though hopefully shorter than some of them. Your leadership since becoming Archbishop of Hartford in 2003 has been nothing short of inspiring; clearly, you have a direct line upstairs!

From guiding communities through challenging times to celebrating milestones like church anniversaries and ordinations, your warmth and wisdom continue to uplift us all. Here's hoping this birthday brings you plenty of cake—and perhaps fewer confessions about who ate the last slice.

Cheers to another year blessed by faith (and humor)!
