The Diocese of Gaylord officially installed a new Bishop on Friday March 4 for the region.

Last December Pope Francis selected Jeffrey Walsh to serve in the position.

Walsh replaces Steven Raica, who left the Diocese in 2020 and is now Bishop of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama.

 

Bishop Walsh is now responsible for 21 counties in the lower peninsula.

 

Our State Officers had the honor of attending the ceremony.

Here is a pictorial of the event.
