Bishop Vann, Bishop Freyer and Bishop Nguyen rejoice with our good neighbor and friend, Bishop John Dolan, being appointed as the Bishop of Phoenix, Arizona today by Pope Francis.
The Dioceses of San Diego and Orange have been blessed by our ministerial and fraternal endeavors through the California Catholic Conference and other venues. In particular, Phoenix being the Diocese where Bishop Vann had family for many years, including his godmother, Rita. Our prayers are with Bishop Dolan and Bishop Olmstead these days.
