It’s been a long few months for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, that all started with the resignation of Bishop Michael Bransfield.

It’s a time that’s left parishioners with questions, and some questioning their faith. In a time that leaves many searching for answers, 7News wanted to know: what’s next?

“Our faith is founded on truth,” said Archbishop William E. Lori. “Jesus said the truth will set you free.”

Since being named the Apostolic Administrator for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in September, Archbishop William Lori said he has aimed to seek the truth and be transparent.

“I want to thank the priests, the deacons, the religious and above all the lay people of the diocese for their patience, their love and their understanding,” Archbishop Lori continued.
