Bishop Robert Baker has been named the new bishop of Birmingham, Alabama. (See announcement here). I was afraid this might happen. A couple of months ago Annunciations wrote that Bishop Baker's name was among those being mentioned for the open see in Pittsburgh.
I have had the pleasure of corresponding with Bishop Baker several times and meeting with him once. He always answered his correspondence-often with a handwritten note at the end of the letter. He has been tireless in transversing the diocese which encompasses the whole state. Overall, his accomplishments in our diocese have been great. (More seminarians, freeing of the Traditional Latin Mass, institution of the Marian shrine, etc. etc.)
It is with joy we had him in the Charleston diocese and with sorrow-and warm wishes-we see him go.
Oremus pro invicem!
