Pope Benedict XVI today named Auxiliary Bishop Roger Paul Morin (right) of New Orleans to be the next bishop of Biloxi. Morin, who has lived in New Orleans for four decades, is originally from Dracut, the Times-Picayune reports. (Morin is not the only Massachusetts native serving as a Gulf Coast prelate -- the archbishop of New Orleans, Alfred C. Hughes, is from West Roxbury.)
