A priest, who is a self-described extrovert with a following for his YouTube videos and a new book, will soon become the 10th Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield.
The Most Rev. William Byrne, 56, will be installed as bishop Monday during a service at St. Michael’s Cathedral in Springfield.
The diocese oversees the four western Massachusetts counties that have a Catholic population of about 230,000.
Earlier this week, WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with bishop-designate Byrne.
