Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Edward J. Slattery of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and named as his successor Fr. David Konderla, a priest of the Diocese of Austin, Texas.

The appointment was announced in Washington May 13 by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the United States.

Bishop Slattery is 75, the age at which canon law requires bishops to turn in their resignation. He was appointed to head the Tulsa Diocese in November 1993 by Pope John Paul II. Bishop-designate Konderla, 55, was ordained June 3, 1995.
