On May 1, 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed two local priests as new auxiliary bishops for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. Father Gary Studniewski, who is presently the pastor at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament Parish in Washington, D.C., and Father Robert Boxie III, who is currently the Catholic chaplain at the Sister Thea Bowman Catholic Student Center at Howard University in Washington, were named.
In November 2025, we had the distinct privilege of welcoming Fr. Boxie as our esteemed Keynote Speaker at our National Black Catholic History Month event, a gathering that holds significant importance within our community. This annual event celebrates the rich heritage and contributions of Black Catholics throughout history, honoring their faith, resilience, and cultural impact within the broader context of the Catholic Church in the United States.
We are so excited for his new assignment.
