This idea<\/strong><\/a> seems quite extraordinary:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u2003As part of his keynote talk, Bishop Barnes explained the formal process of how a new bishop is chosen for a diocese when the existing one retires. While the ultimate decision of the next Bishop of San Bernardino rests with the Holy Father, there is a multi-layered process of consultation in the selection of a new bishop.\u00a0 Bishop Barnes invited the faithful of the Diocese to be part of it.<\/p>\n

He asked parishes to look back and learn about the history of the Diocese, to assess both its strength areas and challenges, and, finally, to identify what qualities will be needed in the next bishop.<\/p>\n
