Today we pray for Bishop Francis Christian.
Bishop Christian was ordained to the priesthood in 1968, and ordained to the episcopate in 1996 for the Diocese of Manchester. He has served as auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese since that date.
May he, in his role as successor of the Apostles, help to lead this Diocese in all truth, that we may walk together growing in conformity to the One who is Truth. May Mary watch over him, guide him as his Mother, and help him in every way possible to fulfill his deep and difficult call.
