El Papa Francisco nombró al Padre Redentorista Bruce A. Lewandowski como un nuevo obispo auxiliar de Baltimore. El anuncio fue publicado el 10 de junio por el Arzobispo Christophe Pierre, nuncio apostólico en los Estados Unidos.
El obispo designado ha servido desde 2015 como pastor de la parroquia Sacred Heart of Jesus / Sagrado Corazón de Jesús en Highlandtown, en el este de Baltimore, considerado por muchos como el corazón de la comunidad hispana en la arquidiócesis. También ha servido los últimos siete meses como delegado del arzobispo para el ministerio hispano.
