He is the eldest of five children, two sisters and two brothers. As a youth, he played Little League baseball, and wrestled, and was active in the Boy Scouts where he attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Bishop Fisher recalls always working, starting as an eight-year-old paperboy for The Baltimore Sun. Bishop Fisher attended the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute high school, and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting at the University of Maryland in 1984. With his business and accounting degree, Bishop Fisher worked as a comptroller for a psychiatric practice in Bethesda. Feeling compelled to discern a vocation to the priesthood, he entered seminary at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland in 1986. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Washington by Cardinal James A. Hickey at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on June 23, 1990. Upon ordination, Bishop Fisher was assigned to Sacred Heart parish, La Plata. He was appointed pastor at Holy Family parish in Hillcrest Heights in 1995 and then pastor at St. John Neumann parish in Gaithersburg in 1999. He was named a Chaplain to His Holiness, a distinction that comes with the title of “Monsignor,” by Pope John Paul II in 2005. Later that year, then- archbishop Theodore McCarrick appointed him Vicar General for the Apostolates, where he oversaw the archdiocesan ministries for education, ethnic ministries, social justice and service, parish life and youth ministry. In 2006 Cardinal Donald Wuerl appointed him Vicar for Clergy and Secretary for Ministerial Leadership, a position he has held for the last twelve years. In this Due in St. Raphael RE Office on March 19, 2021. role, Bishop Fisher oversees the recruitment, formation and care of the clergy for the archdiocese. He was named an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington by Pope Francis on June 8, 2018 and ordained to the episcopate on June 29, 2018 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Over his nearly thirty years in priestly ministry Bishop Fisher has served on various boards and committees of the archdiocese, including, College of Consultors, Priest Council, Administrative Board, Priest Retirement Board, Clergy Personnel Board, Deacon Review Board, Deacon Council, Needy Parish Committee, Forward in Faith Committee. He also serves as an Ecclesiastical Counselor to the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation. Much of Bishop Fisher’s ministry has involved the continuing education of priests, particularly in aiding new pastors in their roles and the planning and implementation of ongoing clergy training via convocations and retreats. Bishop Fisher attributes much of his call to the priesthood to the love and sacrifices of his parents and family, the constant prayers of a grandmother, the encouragement and example of wonderful priests, and a life-long desire to serve and leave this world a better place. Bishop Fisher’s family has roots across Maryland and Washington D.C.: his father was a Baltimorean and his mother was a Washingtonian, and extended family reside throughout the region. In his spare time Bishop Fisher loves to read and study history, especially American and Church history. He enjoys camping and hiking in the mountains and touring historical sites. He once attempted to plant an orchard on a few acres of land in the North Mountains of West Virginia. Bishop Fisher is a life-long Baltimore Orioles fan, but he will root for the Washington Nationals …when they don’t play the O’s! Due in St. Raphael RE Office on March 19, 2021.

    SHARE JOY Walkthe with Francis ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 “Charity is born of the call of a God who continues to knock on our door, the door of all people, to invite us to love, to compassion, to service of one another. — Pope Francis, St. Patrick’s Parish 2 Dear Friends, It is a pleasure to present to you this annual report for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington which highlights the efforts of this ministry to walk with Pope Francis in faith and charity on our pilgrim journey. The stories found in this report remind all of us that through the love we share, the Gospel faith still has the power to transform people’s lives. When our Holy Father met with some of the clients, staff and volunteers of Catholic Charities during his visit to Washington this year, he stressed that “Jesus wanted to show solidarity with every person. He wanted everyone to experience his companionship, his help, his love.” Thanks to your compassionate support, through Catholic Charities, our sisters and brothers in need are able to encounter that consolation and love of Christ every day. As a visible sign of Christ’s presence in the world today, this faith-filled ministry meets a myriad of material and spiritual needs in its 65 programs, including: housing, job training, legal aid, immigration and refugee assistance, mental health treatment, medical and dental care, life-long care for those with developmental disabilities, and food assistance, such as Saint Maria’s Meals, which served the lunch that was blessed during Pope Francis’ visit.
