Clergy appointments

Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo has announced the following clergy appointments, effective July 1 or as noted:

• Rev. Francois G. Babulu, to be Parochial Vicar of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, effective July 1, 2012.

• Rev. Karl Marsolle, of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, to be parochial vicar at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Richmond. (He succeeds Father Rudolf Grega who has been reassigned to the apostolate in Ottawa and will be leaving the Diocese this month.)

• Rev. Michael J. Herbert, to be Episcopal Vicar, Western Vicariate, effective immediately, succeeding Rev. Msgr. J. Kenneth Rush.

(Father Herbert will continue to serve as Pastor at Good Shepherd-Lebanon, Saint Therese-St. Paul and St. Mary-Coeburn.

Msgr. J. Kenneth Rush will continue to serve as Pastor of Holy Cross in Lynchburg.)

Correction

The anniversary date of the ordination of a retired Diocese of Richmond priest was incorrect in the Milestones article in the June 11 issue of The Catholic Virginian. Father Joseph Majewski, who is retired and living in Spring Grove (in Virginia’s Surry County), was ordained a priest on May 14, 1966. So in 2012 he is celebrating his 46th anniversary of ordination, not his 45th.

The Catholic Virginian got its original information from the Diocese of Richmond 2011 Directory. The corrected date has now been entered on all diocesan records.

Thanks to Msgr. Raymond Barton, who was ordained a priest with Father Majewski, for informing us of the error.
