Today, Wilmington, DE, gets a new bishop - Fran Malooly. For the past quarter century, "Fran" has been an integral part of the running of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. After an early ministry dedicated, more or less, to youth and young adult ministry, Fran moved to the Catholic Center to serve as Director of Clergy Personnel, steered the diocese's program for dealing with sexual abuse, served as Chancellor, Vicar General and moderator of the Curia. Most of his priesthood, he will tell you, has been spent in some administrative, non-parochial ministry. However, today he assumes the role that he has shown he has a heart for. Today, he is installed as the chief shepherd of the flock of the Diocese of Wilmington.Congratulations, Fran!
You are finally a pastor.
