We join together with those of the Diocese of Grand Rapids in celebrating this joyous time. In his statement upon the announcement of the appointment of Bishop-Elect Walkowiak, Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon said:
This is happy news as one of our Cleveland priests is chosen by our Holy Father to shepherd the faithful of the Diocese of Grand Rapids. While we will miss Father Walkowiak here in our diocese, and especially at St. Joan of Arc parish in Chagrin Falls, we are confidant of his ability to be a holy and pastoral bishop.
