At noon today, Rome time, the Holy Father appointed Msgr. Jeffrey M. Monforton the new bishop of Steubenville.
The 49 year old Detroit priest studied philosophy at Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, then theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome receiving his doctorate in Spiritual Theology from the Gregorian in 2002. He was ordained a priest in 1994 and has held various diocesan positions since that time.
Congratulations, Diocese of Steubenville!
