Friday marked an important day for the 400,000 Catholics living in Southern Arizona.

After a 12-month wait, there is a new Bishop.

A Mass was held at St. Augustine Cathedral downtown, that saw the ordination and installation of James Misko as Bishop for the Diocese of Tucson.

A cardinal, 20 bishops, and more than 200 members of the clergy led the congregation in song and prayer.

Bishop Misko now accepts the responsibility of leading the Diocese of Tucson.
