Seattle Has a New Auxiliary Bishop!
Bishop-designate Daniel H. Mueggenborg
Pope Francis has named Monsignor Daniel H. Mueggenborg, a priest of the Diocese of Tulsa, as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Seattle. He will join Bishop Eusebio Elizondo as assistant to Archbishop Peter Sartain.
The Northwest Catholic, the official publication of the Archdiocese ran a story this afternoon:
“It is with deep joy that I share this good news,” Archbishop J. Peter Sartain wrote in an April 6 press release. “His warmth and affability, coupled with his pastoral experience and competence, will be great gifts to the Archdiocese of Seattle.”
Archbishop Sartain has known Bishop-designate Mueggenborg for 12 years and praised him as “a wonderful addition to the pastoral leadership of the Archdiocese” in a separate letter to archdiocesan staff.
“To say that I am delighted is an understatement.”
