Bishop MARK was ordained as a bishop on December 5, 2004, by His Beatitude, Patriarch IGNATIUS IV, and members of the Holy Synod of Antioch at the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God, in Damascus. While Bishop Mark began ministering to the faithful of the Midwest Diocese immediately upon returning to the United States, the enthronement ceremony will mark officially his assignment as Shepherd of Christ's flock in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri.
