Fabre of Houma-Thibodaux, Louisiana, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism. “We are all im- pacted by the effects of the evil and sin.” Bishop Fabre said many people think of racism being a matter for blacks and whites, “but I think there are many, many faces to racism, so I think it resonates with the pastoral letter (assembled by his committee and approved by the bishops last year) when we say that this evil affects everyone, and all communities are affected by racism.” The deadliest of the three shootings took place Aug. 3 in El Paso, As Bishop Robert Gruss takes the cathedra (his seat of teaching authority) he is Texas, where accused gunman Patrick Crusius opened fire at a Walmart Summit — Created. welcomed by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States; Bishop Walter Hurley, apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Saginaw and store in the city, with 22 dead and dozens more wounded.

Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, from Washington, D.C., the papal ambassador to the United States read the Apostolic Mandate from Pope Francis appointing Bishop Gruss to the Diocese of Saginaw. Following Bishop Gruss’ acceptance of his new appointment he was led by Archbishops Vigneron and Pierre to the cathedra – the seat of his teaching authority from his new cathedral. The cathedra was moved from the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption, which was too small to accommodate the 650 people who attended the celebration. Bishop Gruss is the second South Dakota prelate to lead the Diocese of Saginaw. Archbishop Robert J. Carlson served as Bishop of Saginaw from 2005-09. He was appointed while serving as Bishop of Sioux Falls.
