SAN DIEGO — A vigil and funeral Mass are scheduled next week for Bishop Cirilo Flores, who died Saturday, and a diocesan administrator was elected Tuesday, the Diocese of San Diego said.

Monsignor Steven Callahan was unanimously elected as administrator by the six members of the College of Consultors, the diocese said in a statement.

Callahan has been vicar general of the diocese since January 2003.

Flores, who was appointed bishop last September, died at Nazareth House in San Diego after a battle with prostate cancer. He was 66.
