Along with the priests, deacons, religious, and lay faithful of the diocese we have been praying daily for our new bishop as the day of his installation approached.
As he begins his new role as our shepherd in East Tennessee we hold him in our prayers, our rosaries, the divine office, and most especially in our hours of Eucharistic adoration. May God bless him and Mary hold him close all the days of his life!
