Benedict XVI makes Tijuana an archdiocese and chooses a bishop known for his doctrinal orthodoxy as the new metropolitan

Since taking over the diocese, Romo has distinguished himself for his extensive pastoral outreach – opening new parishes and creating or re-opening closed chapels in remote areas of the city. His pastoral exuberance has meant extra work for his priests: on average, a priest in the Archdiocese of Tijuana says 5 or 6 masses every Sunday, and at various locations.

But Romo has also distinguished himself for the number of new priests he has ordained as bishop of Tijuana: 90 ordinations over a span of 10 years, an average of 9 new priests each year.

The Missionaries of Charity (both priests and sisters) have a great community down there. I always try to visit them when I go see my dentist
