that Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond, Archbishop of New Orleans,
will become a member of Sadlier’s Board of Directors effective
immediately.
Frank Dinger in making the announcement stated “We are honored
that Archbishop Aymond has agreed to join Sadlier’s Board of
Directors. My brother, Bill, and I worked closely with Archbishop
Aymond when he served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
National Catholic Educational Association.” Bill Dinger added,
“Archbishop Aymond’s pastoral, catechetical, and educational wisdom
and experience will be a tremendous benefit as the company plans
for the future.”
Archbishop Aymond was ordained to the priesthood on May 10,
1975. He served as a parish priest and high school teacher before
being appointed to the faculty of Notre Dame Seminary in 1981. In
1986 he was appointed president/rector of Notre Dame Seminary and
served in that capacity for 14 years. He also served as the
executive director of the New Orleans archdiocesan Department of
Christian Formation, with responsibility for Catholic schools and
religious education. He was ordained auxiliary bishop of the
Archdiocese of New Orleans on January 10, 1997.
On June 2, 2000 he was appointed as coadjutor bishop of the
Diocese of Austin and became the fourth bishop of the Diocese of
Austin on January 2, 2001. Under his tenure, the Diocese of Austin
experienced unprecedented expansion, including a threefold increase
in the number of seminarians. He established the Institute for
Spiritual Direction, opened two high schools, and initiated a
distance learning program with St. Mary's University. He also
served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National
Catholic Educational Association from 2000-04.
Pope Benedict XVI named him Archbishop of New Orleans on June
12, 2009. As the 14th Archbishop of New Orleans, Archbishop Aymond
