Mini bishop news

Overshadowed by Monday's mega-appointment, the Diocese of Orange, CA also got a new one:

"VATICAN CITY, 3 JAN 2009 (VIS) - Today the Holy Father Appointed Fr. Cirilo Flores as auxiliary bishop of Orange in California (area 2,025, population 2,988,072, Catholics 1,165,826, priests 276, permanent deacons 93, religious 449) in the United States. The bishop-elect was born in Corona, California, U.S.A, in 1948 and was ordained a priest in 1991. He was previously pastor of St. Anne parish in Santa Ana, California."

This Bishop-elect Flores is not to be confused with this Bishop-auxiliary Flores.
