As the Congressman for the 11th District. where many of his church members live. I feel that we are most fortunate to have this prelate of exceptional ability and compassion soon to be serving as a spiritual leader in our city. Archbishop Bernardin will be the first Italian American to head the Catholic archdiocese in my home city of Chicago. and in fact. he is the first Italo American to head any archdiocese in the United States. He is the son of Italian immigrants to the United States. His parents. Guiseppe and Maria Simione Bernardin. immigrated from Primlero. Italy. to Charleston. S.C.
