Today, at a 10:00 a.m. Press Conference held at the Pastoral Center of the Diocese of Trenton, it was announced that Pope Benedict XVI has named Rev. David O'Connell, C.M. as the Co-adjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton. Bishop-elect O'Connell, the recent President of the Catholic University of America, is no stranger to the Diocese. He attended high-school in Princeton, his religous community has some foundations in our diocese, and he was planning a sabbatical at the Jersey Shore!
So much for sabbatical plans!
We welcome the new Bishop to the Diocese of Trenton, and we look forward to walking with him in the future years.
