Diocese of New Ulm - a people and a place
E

stablished in 1957, the Diocese of New Ulm is a community of 77 parishes and 4 oratories serving 65,740 Catholics through-out 15 counties. Minnesota's most rural diocese, home to a total population of 285,338, is an area serving some 9,863 square miles of Southwestern Minnesota prairie.



Minnesota native, The Most Reverend John M. LeVoir, was ordained and installed as the fourth bishop of the Diocese of New Ulm on Monday, September 15, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the New Ulm Civic Center in New Ulm.  This is the first time in our 50 years of diocesan history that a bishop has been ordained in the Diocese of New Ulm.

Following applause from an estimated 2,300 people, Bishop LeVoir gave his concluding remarks and thanks at the end of his ordination and installation Mass.
