Bishop Patrick Neary spent a few hours at Christ the King Catholic School and church on Wednesday, March 15.
Neary took over the duties of Bishop for the St. Cloud Diocese on Valentine’s Day (February 14).
He is holding the position of his predecessor—Bishop Donald Kettler.
Bishop Kettler had scheduled this annual visit to the CTK School and Bishop Neary honored the commitment and led Mass that day as well as visiting with the students and sharing a laugh or two.
According to The Central Minnesota Catholic Magazine of the Diocese of St. Cloud, Pope Francis had named Neary, a member of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, as the 10th Bishop of the Diocese of St. Cloud.
The story reported that “The announcement was made December 15 in Washington by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States.”
Neary succeeds Kettler who served the Diocese of St. Cloud for the past nine years. . .
