OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS

VATICAN CITY, 12 MAY 2010 (VIS) - The Holy Father appointed Msgr. Timothy L. Doherty of the clergy of the diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, U.S.A., pastor of St. Catherine church in Dundee, and of St. Mary Mission church in Gilberts, as bishop of Lafayette in Indiana (area 25,455, population 1,296,384, Catholics 108,000, priests 98, permanent deacons 17, religious 81). The bishop-elect was born in Rockford, U.S.A. in 1950 and ordained a priest in 1976. He succeeds Bishop William L. Higi, whose resignation from the pastoral care of the same diocese the Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.

  1. There is a mistake in this. He is not of the clergy of the diocese of Lafayette in Indiana. He is of the clergy of the diocese of Rockford, IL.
