          Statement from Father Jenkins on the appointment of Bishop Kevin Rhoades as bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend

          
            
              
                
                Published: November 14, 2009
              

              
                Author: Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.
              

              







          

          
          
          

          
        
        
        
          

“On behalf of the University of Notre Dame and her family, I am delighted to welcome Bishop Kevin Rhoades as our new bishop.

“Bishop Rhoades is well recognized for his intellect and discernment. For institutions of higher learning in this diocese, it is especially significant that he had many years of experience on the faculty, in the administration and on the board of Mount St. Mary’s University. In addition, the large Latino population in our diocese will be genuinely blessed by Bishop Rhoades’ commitment to serving that community.

“We are confident that the ministry of Bishop Rhoades will be a blessing for Notre Dame and the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend, as was the ministry of Bishop John D’Arcy, and we look forward both to his apostolate and to our friendship for many years to come.”
