In September, the Cleveland Catholic Diocese welcomed a new leader -- Bishop Nelson Perez. He's the 11th bishop to head the Cleveland Diocese, which encompasses eight counties and 700,000 Catholics.

At the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore last month, Bishop Perez was elected chairman of the conference's Committee on Cultural Diversity in the church.
