Rhoades was born Nov. 26, 1957, in Mahanoy City, Pa., located in Schuylkill County in the Diocese of Allentown, Pa., and baptized at St. Canicus Church there. He is the son of the late Charles and the late Mary Rhoades and the brother of Charles Rhoades and Robin McCracken. He grew up in Lebanon, Pa., where he was a member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish. He attended the former St. Mary’s School in Lebanon and graduated from Lebanon Catholic High School in 1975. He enrolled at Mount Saint Mary’s College (now University) in Emmitsburg, Md., in the fall of 1975, and studied there for two years. He studied for the priesthood at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pa., and earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy there in 1979. He did his theological studies at the North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University, both in Rome, from 1979-1983. He also studied Spanish at the University of Salamanca in Spain during the summer of 1982. Cardinal Terence Cooke ordained Bishop Rhoades a deacon at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City in 1982. Bishop Rhoades was ordained a priest in July 1983 by then-Auxiliary Bishop William H. Keeler of Harrisburg at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Lebanon. Following ordination, Bishop Rhoades served in parish ministry as parochial vicar at St. Patrick Parish in York, Pa. from 1983-1985, and also worked with Spanish-speaking Catholics at Cristo Salvador Parish in York and Cristo Rey Mission in Bendersville. In 1985, he returned to the Gregorian University in Rome, earning advanced degrees in dogmatic theology and canon law. In 1988, he returned to the Harrisburg Diocese to serve as assistant chancellor under then-Bishop Keeler. During this time, he also ministered as the director of the Spanish apostolate in Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties. Bishop Rhoades was appointed pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Harrisburg, in 1990. He served there until 1995, when he accepted a full-time faculty position with Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary. While there, he taught courses in systematic theology, canon law and Hispanic ministry. In March 1997, he was named rector of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, a role he fulfilled until his appointment by Pope John Paul II as Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg on Oct. 14, 2004. On Dec. 9, 2004, he was ordained ninth Bishop of Harrisburg by Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia. Bishop Rhoades serves as Chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Task Force on Health Care, and as episcopal moderator of the National Catholic Office for the Deaf. He is a member of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Doctrine, the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism, the board of trustees of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the board of trustees of Mount Saint Mary’s University, the board of trustees of Saint Charles Seminary, the board of regents of Saint Vincent Seminary, the episcopal advisory board of the Theology of the Body Institute, and the episcopal cabinet for Catholic Charities USA. Bishop Rhoades was also recently appointed as chairman-elect of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. On November 14, 2009, Bishop Rhoades was appointed the ninth Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend in Indiana. The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend comprises 14 counties of northeastern Indiana and has a Catholic population of over 160,000.

OPENING PRAYER 12 LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Isaiah 6:1-8 This reading will be proclaimed in English. Lectura del libro del Isaías El año de la muerte del rey Ozías, vi al Señor sentado sobre un trono muy alto y magnífico. La orla de su manto llenaba el templo. Había dos serafines junto a él, con seis alas cada uno: con un par se cubrían el rostro; con otro, se cubrían los pies, y con el otro, volaban. Y se gritaban el uno al otro: “Santo, santo, santo es el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos; su gloria llena toda la terra.” Temblaban las puertas al clamor de su voz y el templo se llenaba de humo. Entonces exclamé: “¡Ay de mí!, estoy perdido, porque soy un hombre de labios impuros, que habito en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros, porque he visto con mis ojos al rey y Señor de los ejércitos.” Después voló hacia mí uno de los serafines. Llevaba en la mano una brasa, que había tomado del altar con unas tenazas. Con la brasa me tocó la boca, diciéndome: “Mira: Esto ha tocado tus labios. Tu iniquidad ha sido quitada y tus pecados están perdonados.” Escuché entonces la voz del Señor que decía: “¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá de parte mía?” Yo le respondí: “Aquí estoy, Señor, envíame.” The word of the Lord.

    “What is it that I find so intimidating in the office of bishop, except perhaps that I might be attracted more by the authority of my position than by what in my role is helpful to your salvation? While what I am for you frightens me, what I share with you brings me consolation. “For you I am a bishop; with you I am a Christian. The former is the name of a duty I have received; the latter I am by grace. The former implies potential danger; the latter offers salvation ... “Assist me by your prayerful support, so that my joy will be in serving you, rather than in being over you.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo [354-430 AD], Sermon 340 SOLEMN VESPERS from the COMMON OF APOSTLES ON THE EVE OF THE INSTALLATION of BISHOP KEVIN C.
