St. Patrick's Cathedral
In 2001 His Eminence Edward Cardinal Egan selected Monsignor Clark to be rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the seat of the archdiocese and in many ways the ceremonial heart of Catholicism in the United States. His duties as rector included running the day-to-day business of the cathedral, and he sometimes celebrated Mass when the archbishop, Cardinal Edward M. Egan, was unavailable.
Monsignor Clark was the private secretary to one archbishop, Francis Cardinal Spellman, and an official spokesman for Terence Cardinal Cooke. He was a leading fund-raiser for Catholic causes. He was vice president of the Homeland Foundation, an organization with an $85 million endowment that supports Catholic projects, and served as the New York representative of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums, a preservation group.

Famous quotes containing the words patrick and/or cathedral:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“... the first cathedral you see remains with you forever as the cathedral of the world.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
