Pope Francis on Tuesday named Father Frank Schuster as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Seattle.
Schuster, 50, will join fellow auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo and Seattle Archbishop Paul D. Etienne to serve more than a million Catholics in the western part of Washington state.
The auxiliary bishop-elect fills the place left by former Seattle auxiliary bishop Daniel Mueggenborg, who was appointed bishop of Reno, Nevada, in July 2021.
In a video message posted on his personal website on March 8, Schuster announced: “Hi gang, big news today. I can finally share with you that our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has appointed me to become the next auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Seattle.”
