The Bishop Coadjutor Search Committee’s work has moved into a new and exciting phase. Having received a high number of impressive candidates, committee members are now preparing for Zoom interviews with those candidates who have passed the first screening. Following these interviews, the committee will meet in early October to decide which candidates to invite to our discernment retreat. Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated as we continue this holy endeavor. For more information, please visit our Bishop Search page on our diocesan website.
