Bishop Theogene added, "My dream is to continue the quality and stability we have had over the years. This stability will give us all we need to work toward growth and positive change." The People of God of CACINA join the College of Bishops in congratulating Bishop Theogene on his appointment and in thanking Bishop Santore for his many years of service and leadership as Presiding Bishop.
