The Most Reverand John O. Barres, S.T.D., J.C.L., D.D. – Fourth Bishop of Allentown
Bishop Barres, a native of Larchmont, New York, was ordained to the priesthood October 21, 1989. In addition to serving on various diocesan boards and committees in Wilmington, Bishop Barres has served on the Administrative Board of the Maryland Catholic Conference (Annapolis, MD), the Board of St. Francis Hospital (Wilmington, DE), and the Board of the Cathedral Foundation (Baltimore, MD). He was ordained a Bishop and installed as the fourth Bishop of Allentown on July 30, 2009. He was the first priest to be ordained a Bishop in the Diocese of Allentown.
The Bishop is the son of Protestant ministers who met at the Yale Divinity School and entered the Catholic Church in 1955. His father wrote a book about the experience.
This summer, Bishop Barres spent a month in Lima, Peru living and working in a parish as part of an effort to immerse himself in the Spanish language and culture. Berks County and the other four counties of the Diocese of Allentown have growing Latino populations.
