Following a lead from St. John's Seminary professor of systematic theology, Paul F. Ford, it appears that the Holy Father has finally appointed someone as Bishop of Fresno--Armando Xavier Ochoa, currently the Bishop of El Paso.
A brief look at his Wikipedia biography reveals that he had been ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, is an alumnus of St. John's Seminary, and was in fact born right here in Oxnard, where me and my four Oblate companions are living.
Naturally, I am "breaking" the story well after the great Rocco Palmo, but the fact that he also has it up probably serves as confirmation enough for a few of you, especially since he is likely to have posted it before the Vatican did.
More as I hear about it, and pray for the "new" bishop (new to Fresno, that is).
