Bishop and Child


Bishop and Child, originally uploaded by Stephanie A. Richer.

Taken January 7, 2012 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

This is Bishop Richard Stika who heads the Diocese of Knoxville. The diocese was sponsoring a Mass to honor married couples and His Grace graciously posed for photographs with the couples, which I took for the diocese. One couple had this adorable little girl who seemed to take a liking to the bishop, so he said, "C'mon, let's get a shot with just her!" Wht I admire is this is the Bishop at the END of the day - still happy, still smiling, and evidently a man who loves his vocation!
