Bishop Knestout elected as Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on the Protection of Children and Young People

November 17, 2023

Following the conclusion of the bishops’ 2023 Fall General Assembly, Bishop Knestout begins a three-year term as chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on the Protection of Children and Young People (CPCYP).

For the last year, he has served as chairman-elect after his brother bishops elected him to serve in the role in 2022. Please continue to keep all bishops who are serving as new chairs of committees in your prayers.
