Bishop Mark Brennan will be installed as the ninth Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston next month, as West Virginia's sole diocese looks to move forward from the scandals of its previous leader, Bishop Michael Bransfield.
"It will be my highest priority to work with you on true reform and to open our hearts and minds to the healing power of Christ's unconditional love," Brennan said at the July 23 press conference announcing his appointment.
Officials in the diocese also emphasized healing and reform.
"Today is a new day in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston," Bryan Minor, Delegate of Administrative Affairs for the diocese said at the start of Tuesday's press conference.
