The Ordination and Installation of Monsignor David J. Malloy as the ninth Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Rockford is set for Monday, May 14, at the BMO Harris Bank Center in downtown Rockford.
Bishop-elect Malloy, 56, was selected by Pope Benedict XVI to succeed Bishop Thomas G. Doran, who has led the diocese since 1994. The announcement was made Tuesday, March 20, by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican’s Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, in Washington.
Conferring the Rite of Ordination will be Cardinal Francis George, OMI, Archbishop of Chicago, along with Archbishop Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee, and Bishop Thomas J. Doran, the eighth Bishop of Rockford and current apostolic administrator in the presence of Archbishop Vigano.
Joining in this event will be 28 bishops, 200 priests, 150 permanent deacons, more than 100 members of the Knights of Columbus, and 58 Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre. The event will feature a choir of more than 400 voices and be witnessed by more than 5,000 guests. Doors of the BMO Harris Bank Center will open at 11 a.m. A rosary will be recited at 12:45 p.m. with a procession beginning at 1:30 p.m. The Mass of Ordination and Installation will begin at 2 p.m. Details and information about the event can be found at www.rockforddiocese.org [2].
