New bishop to lead Diocese

The Rev. John LeVoir, right, fielded questions Monday during a press conference announcing his appointment as the fourth bishop of the Diocese of New Ulm. The Rev. Monsignor Douglas Grams was at LeVoir’s side during the meeting in New Ulm. “We have been praying for a new bishop for more than a year,” Grams said in a prepared statement. “We are grateful that our prayers have been answered.” The full story about LeVoir and his appointment will appear on the new Extra!/Faith page in the Tuesday, July 22 Leader.
