Poor Archbishop Hartmayer! He was named the Archbishop of Atlanta during the Covid Pandemic and the shut-down! Thus he had no real farewell from Savannah due to Covid restrictions.
And His Excellency's Installation Mass at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta was under Covid restrictions too—thus almost no laity were present and not all the priests and bishops who would have been there otherwise.
But, please note how sober Archbishop Hartmayer's Installation was in comparison to Archbishop Hicks of New York.
The Atlanta Cathedral is a splendid example of Gothic Revival architecture. Unfortunately it is quite small for an Archdiocese as large as Atlanta. But it is in the correct spot in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Across the street is a quite splendid gothic Episcopalian Cathedral. It is much larger. Maybe there should be a swap?
The Installation Rite begins at about minute 2:05:
