“t 3:13 p.m. Wednesday, Detroit Cardinal Adam Maida poured a small pitcher of holy oil over the bowed head of a priest from Texas and, with that final act in a long ordination ritual, Michigan finally had its first mainline Hispanic bishop: Detroit Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Flores.

Flores’ first job is assisting Maida in supervising 298 parishes that serve 1.3 million Catholics in metro Detroit. However, most people who know Flores — and many of the 1,000 people who attended the ordination mass at Blessed Sacrament cathedral seemed to know him — say that this 45-year-old bishop is headed for even higher office.”
