New bishops

This morning the Holy Father named Father Clarence Silva, 55, a priest of the Diocese of Oakland, as the new bishop of Honolulu, Hawaii. Bishop-elect Silva was raised in California but had actually been born in Honolulu!

This morning the Holy Father also named Monsignor Kevin W. Vann, 54, a priest of the Diocese of Springfield Illinois, as the Coadjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas.
