The Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, has named the Most Reverend Robert C. Morlino Bishop of the Diocese of Madison.
Bishop Morlino, 56, becomes the fourth bishop of Madison, succeeding Bishop William H. Bullock, who has served as Bishop of the Diocese of Madison since 1993. Bishop Bullock submitted his resignation at age 75 in accord with Canon Law on April 13, 2002.
Bishop Morlino has served the past four years as Bishop of the Diocese of Helena, a diocese covering the western and north central third of the state of Montana. The diocese, established in 1884, covers 52,000 square miles and has a total population of over 425,000, including over 67,000 Catholics. The diocese has 58 parishes and 39 missions. St. Helena Cathedral, in the city of Helena, is a state monument and arguably one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the United States.
Robert C. Morlino was born December 31, 1946, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. An only child, his father died while he was in high school, his mother in 1980. He was raised in northeastern Pennsylvania, graduating from Jesuit High School in Scranton. Full story ...
