Radio Interview: Ask a Bishop with Bishop Adam J. Parker

Listeners of Catholic Review Radio get their chance to ask Baltimore Auxiliary Bishop Adam J. Parker whatever questions are on their mind in this first “Ask a Bishop” episode of the program.

Bishop Parker was ordained to the priesthood in 2000 by Cardinal William H. Keeler. From 2001 to 2005, he served as associate pastor of three parishes in Allegany County and in 2005 was named pastor of Church of the Ascension in Halethorpe. In 2007, he was appointed priest-secretary to then-Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien, and was named a monsignor by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.

In 2012, Monsignor Parker was assigned to Rome, where he continued to assist the newly elevated Cardinal O’Brien, who had been appointed Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem.

Upon his return to the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 2013, he served as vice chancellor for one year prior to being appointed vicar general and moderator of the curia by Archbishop William E. Lori.

In December 2016, Pope Francis appointed Monsignor Parker auxiliary bishop of Baltimore and he was ordained a bishop in January 2017.
