We welcome Bishop Timothy O’Malley, our new vicar of Vicariate I and the titular bishop of Numida. Before Bishop O’Malley’s appointment, he had been pastor of Most Blessed Trinity Parish in Waukegan.

Our new auxiliary bishops’ assignments are effective March 1: Bishop O’Malley, Vicariate I; Bishop Siemianowski, Vicariate II; Bishop Robert Lombardo continues, Vicariate III; Bishop Garcia-Maldonado Vicariate IV; Bishop Fedek Vicariate V; Bishop Mark Bartosic moves to Vicariate VI; and Bishop Sullivan serves as vicar general.
