Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend to Have New Bishop News-Sentinel November 14, 2009 http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091114/BREAKING/911149999 The Holy See Press Office in Rome issued a statement today announcing the replacement of retiring Bishop John M. D'Arcy. Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of the Diocese of Harrisburg in Pennsylvania will take over, according to the statement. Roman Catholic Church law requires that when a bishop reaches age 75, he must offer a letter of resignation to the pope. D'Arcy eclipsed that milestone Aug. 18, 2007. See more later this morning and in today's News-Sentinel. |
