A Message from Our President Regarding the New Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston

On behalf of the entire Catholic International University community and its Board of Trustees, I wish to extend a warm welcome to Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala on his appointment as Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. We are grateful for his willingness to shepherd the people of West Virginia, where our headquarters resides.

As an institution dedicated to education from the heart of the Church, we look forward to supporting and collaborating in the shared work of evangelization. United in our commitment to proclaim the Gospel, we entrust Bishop Menjivar-Ayala’s ministry to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and pray, through the intercession of Our Lady, that his leadership may bear great fruit for the Church in West Virginia and beyond.

We also want to thank Bishop Mark Brennan for his years of dedicated service to the Diocese and for his exceptional support for and deep appreciation of the mission of Catholic International University. May God abundantly bless him as he begins this new chapter of service to the Church.
