New bishop for Gallup
Wall, 44, to be Arizona's first homegrown bishop
By Andrew Junker | February 19, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Fr. Jim Wall had just eaten breakfast and prayed the Liturgy of the Hours at Mount Claret Center Jan. 24 when his iPhone rang. He answered and heard the thickly accented voice of Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.
The archbishop, who serves as papal ambassador to America, told Fr. Wall that the Lord had a wonderful surprise for him that morning. The Holy Father had named the 44-year-old priest bishop of the Diocese of Gallup, N.M.
His ordination and installation ceremony is scheduled for April 23 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Gallup.
“It was shocking, and I was stunned,” Bishop-elect Wall said. “It took me a while to get my head around it.”
The bishop-elect immediately went to the chapel at Mount Claret and knelt for a good 45 minutes to an hour, though he can’t remember what he said or thought in prayer.
It was all too overwhelming for the diocese’s vicar for priests.
“But the more I meditate on it all, the more I sense that this is the Lord’s will and I’m just cooperating by saying yes,” Bishop-elect Wall said. “There’s no such thing as coincidence with God. You can see the divine providence.”
He sees that providence playing out in the fact that he was born in Chinle, a town on the Navajo Indian Reservation in northeastern Arizona, which is part of the Gallup Diocese.
In fact, it was in the Diocese of Gallup that his family received the Catholic faith. When his parents moved to Chinle in 1962 for a teaching job, neither was Catholic. Separately, his parents began to investigate different religions and were both drawn to the Catholic Church.
His mother went to a local, Franciscan-run parish and introduced herself to the priest, who began instructing her, her husband and Bishop-elect Wall’s older brothers and sister in the faith.
“On Holy Thursday 1964, my mother and father as well as my older sister and two older brothers were brought into the Church,” Bishop-elect Wall said. “At the time, my mom was pregnant with me.”
