The Holy Father today has appointed Bishop Felipe de Jesus Estevez as bishop of the diocese of St. Augustine in Florida.
Bishop Estevez was ordained a priest in 1970 for the diocese of Matanzas in Cuba, but was unable to return to his homeland, and thus was a priest in Honduras and later received as a priest in the archdiocese of Miami. He was ordained a bishop in January of 2007 and was an auxiliary bishop in Miami.
Congratulations, diocese of St. Augustine!
