Archbishop Broglio welcomes Bishop-elect Coyle, 14 February 2013.

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI named Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Coyle, a retired U.S. Navy Chaplain Commander and current Pastor of Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Mineola, N.Y., as Titular Bishop of Zabi and auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS). After his episcopal ordination, Rev. Msgr. Coyle, 48, will serve under His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, as Episcopal Vicar for the Eastern Half of the United States.
Archbishop Broglio will ordain Bishop-elect Coyle in a solemn Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on April 25, the Feast of St. Mark. The Archbishop expressed great joy at today’s announcement in Rome and extended Rev. Msgr. Coyle a warm welcome to episcopal service in the AMS
Archbishop Broglio said:
“The Holy Father has again shown his pastoral concern for the faithful of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA by naming Msgr. Robert Coyle, titular Bishop-elect of Zabi, to serve this global Church. On behalf of the other Auxiliary Bishops, clergy, staff, and the faithful of the Archdiocese I am grateful to our Holy Father. I also give thanks to Msgr. Coyle who has accepted this new mission and to Bishop Murphy and the faithful of Rockville Centre who have prepared and now given this faithful priest to all of us.”
Bishop-designate Coyle said:
“Today, I humbly accept the appointment of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, to serve the people of God as an auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese for the Military Services. I look toward to assisting Archbishop Timothy Broglio in service to the people of this vast Archdiocese. Ever grateful for the many members of the military family who have shaped my life over the last 25 years, I especially ask for the intercession of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, patroness of the Sea Services. In this Year of Faith, I now set out on a new course in service to Our Lord Jesus and His Church. May we pray for one another.”
