Parkes Speech - July 8 2020 - Press Conference Last Thursday morning, I woke up early and embarked on a 31-mile bike ride. Usually during the ride I take the opportunity to pray one of the mysteries of the Rosary. That morning, being it was Thursday, I prayed the luminous mysteries, but for some reason was inspired and I didn’t know why, to pray the joyful mysteries as well. Upon arriving back home at the rectory, while preparing to make breakfast, I received a very unexpected phone call from Archbishop Christophe Pierre (apostolic nuncio to United States) informing me that the Holy Father, Pope Francis, has appointed me as the 15th Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah. Needless to say, I was very surprised and, as you can imagine, my mind went blank for a few moments. I was very glad that I had prayed those extra mysteries earlier on the bike ride. I am humbled by the confidence that the Holy Father has placed in me to be the next shepherd of the beautiful Diocese of Savannah. As we all know, our diocese has an incredibly rich and longstanding history. When it was founded in 1850, it included the state of Georgia and a large part of Florida, including the area of Central Florida that I’ve called home for the past 37 years. My family has roots here, as my grandparents relocated to the Augusta area in the late 1940s and my father spent part of his childhood there. Bishop Emeritus Boland and I have something very unique and special in common in that we both have older brothers with whom we have shared not only the bonds of family, but also of the fraternity of the priesthood. Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know my predecessor Archbishop Hartmayer while attending the board of trustees meetings at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary. I know that you are appreciative of his fine leadership these past years and remember him in prayer as he assumes his new responsibilities as the Archbishop of Atlanta. In the very brief time since my arrival here, you have made me feel very much at home. I look forward to getting to know you and to ministering with you, the priests, deacons, religious, seminarians, and the holy people- the faithful people of God. I am grateful for the seeds of our Catholic faith that have been planted in the hearts of God’s people here in the 90 counties of the Diocese of Savannah. Together may we have the grace and vision to continue to tend and nurture these seeds of faith and to plant new ones as missionary disciples for years to come. In my past 22 years of priesthood in the Diocese of Orlando, I have realized my deep love for parish ministry and have been blessed in my assignments in the parish communities of Annunciation and Most Precious Blood and in campus ministry at the University of Central Florida. I am grateful to all who I have looked up to as mentors in the Diocese of Orlando, but also to the people who I have served. They’ve taught me not only about ministry, but I have learned from them the inexhaustible nature and presence of God’s love, of His goodness and of His mercy. My parents were dedicated to our Catholic faith and provided a beautiful example of family life to their sons. I am blessed with a special bond of family and priestly fraternity with my brother, Bishop Gregory Parkes of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. As his younger brother, I always looked up to him, believe it or not, in physical stature as he is four inches taller than I am, but also I appreciate his advice, his guidance and his love. Along with our sister-in-law and niece, we are a small family but blessed to be a close family. I also have relatives in North Carolina and I look forward to being within just a few hours driving distance of them. It is interesting today that I also want to acknowledge those who join us on the livestream. My friends, we are living in extraordinary times as we face a pandemic and recent social unrest. For all of us, now more than ever, we need hope and healing. We need recognition of God’s image that is in the life of every human person. Over the past few months of challenge and unprecedented circumstances I’ve often reflected upon the words of Saint Paul from Romans Chapter 12 Verse 12, “Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.” Today I ask you to please pray for me that I can be the shepherd that Gad has called me to be and that you need and deserve. I also make my commitment to pray for you, your loved ones and your intentions. We may not see each other each day, but, my friends, may we meet each day in our prayers. Amen. Photos (by Michael J.

My Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Today I have joyous news to share with you about one of our beloved priests, Very Reverend Stephen Parkes. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has found him worthy of an ecclesiastical appointment to Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah and has made this announcement today. Bishop Elect Parkes will be travelling to and from the Diocese of Savannah while continuing to serve as pastor of Annunciation Catholic Church until September 23 when he will be ordained and installed as Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah.

A priest of twenty-two years, Bishop Elect Stephen Parkes, in my humble opinion, will be an excellent bishop. He serves in many leadership roles in the Diocese of Orlando, including Chair of the Presbyteral Council, Vicar Forane for the North Central Deanery, member of the Priests’ Personnel Board and College of Consultors, member of the Diocese of Orlando Real Estate Committee, and on the Endowment Board of Trustees of the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe. He also serves on the Diocese of Orlando Seminary Admissions Committee and as the Diocese of Orlando Clergy Representative for the Board of Trustees at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary. He is Chaplain for Legatus, an association of the faithful, and recently resigned as one of the founding members of Board of The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida.

All of these committees and memberships have helped Bishop Elect Parkes to understand the workings of a Diocese and its various aspects. More importantly, Bishop Elect Parkes is a blessed and gifted pastor. Annunciation Catholic Church is one of the largest in the Diocese of Orlando and he entered the parish during a difficult transition with much sacrifice on his part. He is attentive to the spiritual gifts and needs of the people and immersed in parish life, so much so that when he learned of his appointment, his care and concern was about those young people who are scheduled to receive the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation and being able to confer those Sacraments before his departure. The blessing of the remodeled Sanctuary in which he led his parishioners to plan and build was one of great joy. As pastor of this well-established parish, he has met the holy people of God with the grace of a true shepherd.

In 2005, Bishop Elect Parkes was called to lead the faithful to form a community for the erection of Most Precious Blood Catholic Church in Oviedo. As a newly established parish, he gathered the scattered across various areas of rural Seminole County (not so rural any longer!) forming the people of God to lay the capstone of this parish in His glory. From the beginning, Christ was the foundation of this journey of faith.

In his leadership, Bishop Elect Parkes is attentive to the needs of the priests as he comes to know them. During his tenure at Annunciation Catholic Church, he was attentive to the spiritual and health needs of Monsignor Patrick Caverly, pastor emeritus, who died in 2017. Bishop Elect Parkes matured in his priesthood because of this gift. He has volunteered to serve on a committee to address the needs of senior priests because of this beautiful relationship.

I have attended various retreats and gatherings led by Bishop Elect Parkes. I am inspired by his meticulous planning of these spiritual offerings so that attendees encounter a closer experience with God. His choice of theme always is central to our faith in God and every aspect of his leadership is centered around God’s Presence among us.

I know you join me in my prayer of thanksgiving for Bishop Elect Stephen Parkes. We will miss him, but rejoice in having this time to know him and receiving the fruit of his priestly ministry here in the Diocese of Orlando. We will support him during this time of transition and offer him any assistance as he prepares to leave us. We say, Seek the face of the Lord, Bishop Elect Parkes. He is calling you. Be His light among us. Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend John Noonan Bishop of Orlando
