Several local priests have been conferred the title of monsignor.
Pope Benedict XVI granted the honor to the Rev. John M. Kuzmich, pastor of Saint Vincent de Paul Parish in Fort Wayne, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend Catholic Communications Office said Tuesday.
The same honor has been given to the retired Rev. Raymond J. Balzer, former pastor of Saint Patrick’s Parish in Fort Wayne, Immaculate Conception Parish in Auburn and Saint Rose of Lima Parish in Monroeville.
He lives at Saint Anne’s Home.
The new monsignors will be honored at a special liturgy in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Fort Wayne in the near future, Bishop John M. D’Arcy said in a written statement.
Five other priests in the diocese were also granted the title, and a Notre Dame theologian was granted a high papal honor.
