Notification of the Death of Bishop Emeritus Matthew H. Clark

I regret to inform you that this morning, January 22, 2023, His Excellency, The Most Reverend Matthew H. Clark, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Rochester, died in his room at the Sisters of Saint Joseph Motherhouse, following a period of declining health. Bishop Clark was 85. Funeral arrangements for Bishop Clark are pending.
Born on July 15, 1937, Bishop Clark was ordained a priest on December 19, 1962, in Rome by Archbishop Martin John O’Connor, for the Diocese of Albany, New York. On May 27, 1979, Bishop Clark was ordained a bishop by Pope Saint John Paul II and subsequently installed as the eighth Bishop of Rochester on June 26, 1979, where he served for over 33 years until his resignation was accepted on September 21, 2012, in accord with canon 401 §1 the Code of Canon Law.
United as a diocesan family, we now accompany Bishop Clark with our prayers, especially at Holy Mass, asking the angels and the saints to receive his soul and present him to the Eternal High Priest, Our Savior Jesus Christ. Kindly also pray for Bishop Clark’s family and friends who mourn his death and pray for him; may they be consoled by our faith in eternal life – a kingdom of light and peace where we will behold the face of God.
Eternal rest grant unto Bishop Clark, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
O God, who chose your servant, Bishop Matthew H. Clark,
from among your Priests and endowed him
with pontifical dignity in the apostolic priesthood,
grant, we pray,
that Bishop Clark may also be admitted to their company for ever.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reign with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever.

Statement of Bishop Matano – Death of Benedict XVI

Statement of The Most Reverend Salvatore R. Matano
Bishop of Rochester
Upon the death of His Holiness, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
December 31, 2022
Vigil of the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God

Today’s announcement that Our Holy Father Emeritus, Benedict XVI, has died,
causes great sadness in our hearts as we have truly come to know, love and admire deeply
this Successor to Saint Peter for the guidance that this Vicar of Christ gave not only to
Catholics but to all people of good will. We unite with our Holy Father, Pope Francis,
and the entire Church Universal and all people of faith in mourning the death of Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI.

In his resignation from the Chair of Peter on February 28, 2013, Benedict XVI
again demonstrated his extraordinary love for the Church and her cornerstone, Jesus
Christ. Placing the proclamation of the Gospel and the salvation of souls above all else,
His Holiness accepted in humility that his age and health did not permit him to fulfill the
duties of his office as he would wish. Therefore, Our Holy Father Emeritus, humbly
acknowledging that his health had deteriorated, asked that his successor soon be elected
in solemn conclave in order to provide for the spiritual and pastoral needs of God’s
people.

Yet, the profound humility that shone forth in the announcement of Benedict XVI
made him even stronger and more powerful by his personal act of faith. He had carved
out a place in our hearts and there he shall ever remain. In living a life of solitude these
last several years, he continued to pray fervently for us and for his successor, Pope
Francis. At the time of his resignation, Benedict XVI said, in his own words, that he
would continue devotedly to “serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life
dedicated to prayer.”

Over these years, Benedict XVI, no doubt, had contemplated his departure from
this life and was well prepared to meet the Eternal High Priest, Jesus Christ, whom he
served with an undivided heart and whose face he longed to see. We now accompany our
Holy Father Emeritus as he crosses over the threshold of this earthly life into that place
the Lord has prepared for him from the beginning of time. Like the first pope, Saint
Peter, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI had answered again and again the question that Jesus
addressed to Simon Peter by the Sea of Tiberias: “Simon, Son of John, do you love me
more than these others?” with the words, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you!” (John
21:15-17).

On this day, while there is sadness in our hearts, we do in faith rejoice with
grateful hearts that this Successor to Saint Peter now comes into the presence of the
Eternal Father to live forever in His presence. The Roman Catholic Diocese of
Rochester, in union with our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and the Universal Church and all
people who know and cherish goodness, gives thanks to God for the life of His Holiness,
Pope Benedict XVI, and for his burning desire and Petrine tenacity to serve Christ’s
Bride, the Church, and her Founder, Christ the Lord, in charity and in faith, with little
concern for the glory of this world, but rather fixing his eyes upon the glory of eternity!
We will continue to be inspired by his teachings so brilliantly presented by one who
spent his entire life in pursuit of the Truth according to his motto, “Cooperatores
Veritatis,” “Cooperators of the Truth,”

We also continue to pray for His Holiness, Pope Francis, who shared that special
bond with Benedict XVI as brothers in the Petrine Office. May the Lord sustain Pope
Francis as he continues to serve the People of God with love, fidelity and devotion to Our
Lord, Jesus Christ.

On a more personal note, approximately one hour after the announcement of the
election of Pope Benedict XVI to the Chair of Peter on April 19, 2005, I entered the Co-
Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Burlington, Vermont, to be ordained a Bishop. I spoke of
this memorable occasion at my first visit with His Holiness in September 2005. It is a
moment that I will never forget as he seemed genuinely pleased that we shared such
joyous occasions on the same day.

! ask all our parishes, schools and diocesan agencies to join in prayer for the
repose of the soul of Benedict XVI with special Masses and including his name in all the
prayers of the faithful during this time of mourning. | will offer a Solemn Mass for our
deceased Holy Father Emeritus on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, at 7:00 p.m., at the
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Rochester. | pray that all our parishes, schools and
diocesan agencies will be represented at this Solemn Mass.

Begging the intercession of Our Mother, Mary, whose Solemnity we are soon to
celebrate honoring her as the Mother of God, we commend the soul of Benedict XVI to
the mercy of God. May his noble soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through
the mercy of God rest in peace.

Given from the aula of the Chancery Offices of the Diocese of Rochester on this
thirty-first day of December, in the Year of Our Lord two thousand and twenty-two, and
to which I herewith affix my signature and place upon it the seal of the Diocese of
Rochester.
