"…there is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know him and to talk to others of our friendship with him"

Who was Bishop Augustine Verot?

Bishop Augustin Verot went begging for his diocese after Civil War
Devoted and brilliant, humble and hard-working, a rebel with sometimes controversial causes and, following the Civil War, a prelate who doggedly pursued help for his distressed people. These contradictory descriptions add up to just one man: Bishop Jean Marcellin Pierre Augustin Verot, S.S., third bishop of the Diocese of Savannah and
Vicar Apostolic of Florida.

The Diocesan Administrator will serve until a bishop is duly appointed by the pope.

They are Monsignor Patrick Caverly, Monsignor Manuel Fernandez, Reverend Paul Henry, Reverend Sean Heslin, Reverend Robert Hoeffner, Reverend Christopher Hoffmann, Reverend Gregory Parkes, and Reverend Richard Walsh. After deliberation, the Consultors elected Reverend Richard Walsh as the Diocesan Administrator. The appointment is effective immediately with all the rights and responsibilities it entails.

Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy". (Diary 699)
