SAVANNAH DIOCESE GETS NEW BISHOP (UPDATED)


SAVANNAH DIOCESE ANNOUNCES NEW BISHOP
Father Stephen Parkes
The Very Reverend Daniel F. Firmin, Diocesan Administrator stated, “today, Pope Francis has honored the Diocese of Savannah with the gift of our 15th bishop. In his 22 years of priestly ministry, he has served in parishes, directed souls, and was a campus minister. Bishop-Elect Parkes’ Episcopal Ordination will occur at the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, Savannah on Wednesday, September 23rd. Father Parkes is from the Orlando Diocese. His brother is also a Bishop, who has even performed confirmations in the Traditional Rite in St Petersburg Florida in February of this year for 3 parishes. Hopefully the new Bishop will also be so inclined.
