Albany’s Catholic community gets a new leader

A new chapter is starting for the Albany Catholic Diocese as Bishop Mark O’Connell steps in as the new bishop. After 11 years under Bishop Scharfenberger, Bishop Mark is focusing on some tough issues—like the future of church buildings, handling clergy abuse lawsuits, and getting more people back in the pews. The turnout at his installation in Clifton Park showed just how much hope and curiosity there is about what’s next. How do you think Bishop Mark’s priorities could shape the future of the local church? #Religion #Albany #CatholicDiocese
