Bishop J. Terry Steib, S.V.D.
Celebrant for the Holy Mass , during the seventh annual Men’s Morning of Spirituality, will be the Most Reverend J. Terry Steib, S.V.D., the current Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Memphis.
Bishop Steib received his Theological Degree from Divine Word Seminary in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi in 1967 and his Master of Arts Degree in Guidance and Counseling from Xavier University, New Orleans in 1973. He was ordained to the Priesthood on January 6, 1967 in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Quote from the National Black Catholic Congress website.
For the past six men’s morning gatherings (MMOS), Bishop Steib has given homilies leading the men of the diocese into new thoughts, ideas, concepts and concerns, all the while encouraging them to move forward with their lives, taking all measures to use “Christ our Savior” as mentor, as their hero, and their King.
Bishop Terry Steib’s message of sharing the Gospilfrom MMOS VI, this past year in 2011, on the parable of two men begins with a cry out to the Lord, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” By the end of Bishops Steib’s homily, he brings us about with a statement, an instruction of what we must say. “Lord be merciful.” The Most Reverend, our Excellency, was reminding us of our gifts of grace, and reminding us who gave us those gifts. Wrapping up his message of hope, Bishop Steib passes on the remark,
“Stand back, be a man, make room for God,…”
