Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on May 26, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Archbishop Jerome Hanus! Your years as the ninth Archbishop of Dubuque were truly divine—guiding your flock with wisdom and humor from 1995 to 2013. Who else could balance solemn sermons with a smile that brightened even Iowa winters?

Your leadership brought warmth, compassion, and unity to countless lives. Retirement hasn't dimmed your spirit; it only gave you more time for heavenly hobbies (we assume). May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer committee meetings than you're used to!

Here's wishing you continued blessings and happiness—you've certainly earned them all!
