Sioux City Bishop moves to Texas

The leader of the Sioux City Catholic Diocese is leaving town. The Bishop Daniel Dinardo is leaving the Sioux City Diocese to work as an assistant to the Bishop of the Galveston and House Diocese in Texas. The Galveston-Houston Diocese has over one-million Catholics — ten times the number in Sioux City. A panel of priests in Sioux City will select a priest to serve as an administrator until the Pope appoints a new Bishop. A timetable hasn’t been set for appointing a new Bishop.
