Dio Houma-ThibodauxIntroducing our Bishop Elect, Father Simon Peter Engurait! 🎉
The announcement was made this morning in Rome by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.
“I did not expect this—I am humbled beyond words that the Holy Father has chosen me, not from outside, but from among the ranks of the priests of this beloved Diocese,” said Bishop Elect Engurait.
“I give thanks to God for the gift of life, for the call to the priesthood, and now, for this new and sacred calling to the apostolic ministry. Everything I am, and all that I hope to be, is by His grace,” he said.
