DANIEL E. FLORES, S.T.D.

On December 9, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Flores as the Sixth Bishop of Brownsville. He was installed on February 2, 2010 at the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle – National Shrine, and thus became the third native Texan to serve the Rio Grande Valley as Bishop.

On a national level, as a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Bishop Flores currently serves as Chairman of the Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church. He also serves as a member to the following committees: Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty, Committee of Divine Worship, Sub-Committee on Pro-life Activities, and the Committee for Ecumenical and Inter-Religious Affairs. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the charitable arm of the United States Bishops Conference for international assistance.
