Worshippers filled Savannah's Cathedral of St. John the Baptist as the Catholic church ordained a new bishop in a solemn ceremony. Father Gregory Hartmayer was ordained leader of the 90-county Savannah Diocese, including 77,000 Catholics south of Atlanta. Nineteen bishops, including one from Ireland, attended the ceremony in the port city known for its large population of Irish decent.
