Following the 2019 death of its longtime leader and sudden resignation of his chosen replacement, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Duluth finally expects to have its 10th bishop, coming from Green Bay, Wis.
Rev. Daniel Felton, of the Diocese of Green Bay, was announced Wednesday to become the 10th bishop of the Diocese of Duluth. His episcopal ordination and installation as bishop of Duluth have been set for May 20.
