Pope Benedict XVI has named a Pittsburgh priest, Msgr. Edward Burns, to be the next bishop of Juneau, Alaska.

Msgr. Burns 51, is currently rector of St. Paul Seminary in E. Carnegie. However, prior to returning to Pittsburgh in August, he had been director of the U.S. bishops' office for clergy, consecrated life and vocations in Washington, DC, and is well known for his efforts to increase the number of men seeking ordination as Catholic priests.

Msgr. Burns will be ordained a bishop March 2 in St. Paul Cathedral, Oakland, and installed as bishop of Juneau on April 2.
