The Diocese of Joliet has a new bishop.
The Most Rev. R. Daniel Conlon, now bishop in the Diocese of Steubenville, Ohio, was appointed to the Joliet post by Pope Benedict XVI.
Bishop J. Peter Sartain, who headed the Joliet diocese for more than four years, was installed as bishop of the Archdiocese of Seattle on Dec. 1, 2010.
Conlon’s appointment was announced today in Washington by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.
After his installation, Bishop-designate Conlon will be the fifth bishop for the Diocese of Joliet, which includes more than 655,000 Catholics throughout seven counties in the northeast part of Illinois. He will be installed on July 14 at the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus in Joliet.
Conlon planned a press conference at 10 a.m. today at the Joliet Chancer
