Bishop Olmsted Continues to Clean House in Phoenix

Three key officials of the Diocese of Phoenix, all confidants of Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien, will be replaced July 1, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted announced Tuesday.

Several other key diocesan personnel have been replaced since O'Brien's resignation. Archbishop Michael Sheehan, who served the diocese for six months between O'Brien's resignation and Olmsted's installation, replaced the diocesan spokeswoman. Olmsted has changed diocesan attorneys and appointed a new editor of the diocese's newspaper. The only top official remaining is the assistant chancellor, the Rev. Michael Diskin.
