WASHINGTON, D.C., SEPT. 21, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The U.S. episcopal conference has named Father Shawn McKnight to lead its Secretariat for Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations.
Father McKnight, 41, is a priest of the Diocese of Wichita, Kansas. He will begin the position in July.
“Father McKnight brings extraordinary background to the position,” Monsignor David Malloy, general-secretary of the episcopal conference, said. “In addition to parish work, his experience includes years in seminary formation, education of deacons, college chaplaincy and membership on his diocesan presbyteral council.
