New Bishop for Dallas to be announced tomorrow?

Rocco's all a-buzzin' about it, and has been since early last November.

And when Rocco's a-buzzin', the secular prints begin churnin' (especially when there's already an ambient buzz to get things going).

Finally, Tuesday is new bishop day in America, and tomorrow is a Tuesday....

So, all you "Dallasites", (which include several of my good friends studying at the University of Dallas), prepare yourselves to possibly welcome Kevin Farrell, who has been serving as an auxiliary in Washington. And in the next 12 hours or so, maybe consider placing a few friendly wagers. :-)

More about Bp. Farrell:

Dublin-born and a former member of the Legionaries of Christ -- for which he was ordained in 1978 -- both the administrative and demographic situations on-the-ground play to Farrell's strengths, making him the clear front-runner for Dallas since speculation began at Grahmann's 75th birthday last summer.


... Since 2001, he has served as DC's moderator of the curia and chief vicar-general after 12 years as the capital see's top financial overseer. He's the brother of Bishop Brian Farrell LC, the Stato veteran currently serving as secretary of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. [more from Rocco.]

Well, at the very least, Bp. Farrell might now have a good excuse to be in Dallas for St. Patrick's Day....
