5 Minutes With a Bishop: Bishops Remember the Nuncio’s Phone Call

A phone call from the Apostolic Nuncio can arrive without warning and change everything. In this USCCB compilation, bishops share the moment they received the call from His Eminence Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, conveying the Holy Father’s decision to appoint them as bishops. From surprise and nervous laughter to quiet prayer and steady obedience, these stories reflect the Church’s call to serve with faith, humility, and trust in the Lord. As Cardinal Pierre’s service as Apostolic Nuncio concludes, we give thanks for his ministry and for the bishops who answered this call with a sincere “yes.” Subscribe for more conversations with bishops and Catholic leaders from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. -- WEBSITES USCCB: http://www.usccb.org/ -- SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook:   / usccb   Twitter:   / usccb   Instagram:   / usccb   LinkedIn:   / usccb   TikTok:   / usbishops
