WASHINGTON (CNS)–Just over four months after Pope Francis forced Bishop Martin D. Holley to step down as bishop of Memphis, Tennessee, he named Bishop David P. Talley of Alexandria, Louisiana, to lead the diocese.

Bishop Talley’s appointment was announced March 5 in Washington by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States.

Here are some photos of him:

During his studies in Rome, Father Talley befriended many members of the Missionaries of Charity. Here he greets Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who founded the order.

Serving as the main celebrant and homilist for the June 5 opening Mass of the Eucharistic Congress, Bishop David P. Talley holds the body and blood of Christ before the congregation during the Lamb of God prayer.
