Nassau County N.Y. Catholic: July 2020

Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

Bishop from Massapequa HS

The Pope has appointed Father Stephen D. Parkes the next bishop of Savannah, Georgia. He will be ordained September 23, 2020. Cruxnow reports the news HERE.

Born in Mineola (Winthrop Hospital?) in 1965, he presumably was baptized in a Long Island parish (which one?) He attended Massapequa High School (graduating about 1983? or did the family move to Florida?). His older brother is Bishop Gregory Parkes of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida.
