Bishop-elect John E. Keehner returned to Iowa this week for a few days to prepare for his move from Ohio. He will be ordained as eighth bishop of Sioux City on May 1. The ordination will be livestreamed at www.ktiv.com and the Diocese of Sioux City YouTube channel and broadcast on KTIV.
During the visit, he was able to meet with the executive episcopal transition team at the chancery and meet with some of his staff and some committees. He and the current diocesan shepherd, Bishop Walker Nickless, stopped at some sites in the Sioux City area including Catholic Charities, Carmelite Monastery and Holy Spirit Retirement Home.
