	Pittsburgh Getting New Auxiliary Bishop in April WPXI February 25, 2011 http://www.wpxi.com/news/26994165/detail.html Pope Benedict XVI has appointed a priest from Harrisburg to be the new auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. The Rev. William Waltersheid will be ordained a bishop on the Monday after Easter, April 25, at St. Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh. The 54-year-old priest was born in Ashland and has been secretary for clergy and consecrated lift in the Harrisburg diocese since June 2006. He was ordained a priest in that diocese in July 1992. In the Catholic Church, an auxiliary bishop is an additional bishop assigned to a diocese to assist the bishop in administering the diocese. Bishop David Zubik has headed the Pittsburgh diocese since September 2007 and welcomes Waltersheid on behalf of the 700,000 Catholics in the diocese.
