Bishop Daniel Flores - ' ... it all seems to be such a privilege to assist in the work of grace ...'
Robert Delaney of The Michigan Catholic
Bishop Daniel E. Flores, the Archdiocese of Detroit's newest auxiliary bishop, brings experience as a pastor, seminary professor and diocesan official from his work as a priest of the Diocese of Corpus Christi, Texas. Named to serve the Archdiocese of Detroit in his new position Oct. 29, Bishop Flores was ordained to the episcopate by Cardinal Adam Maida Nov. 29 at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Detroit.
Family life - "One of the marks of our family was that we always stayed close, even with my extended family,"
Joe Kohn of the Michigan Catholic and Paula Goldapp of The South Texas Catholic
When asked about who has influenced him most in life, the first names Bishop Flores mentions won't be those of great saints, popes or other bishops. For him, faith started in the family. "The first (influence) would have been my parents," he said. "And my maternal grandmother, because she lived with us and did a lot of praying."

Hispanic bishop to lead in Detroit
Gina Damron, Christy Arboscello, and David Crumm of the Detroit Free Press
Msgr. Daniel Flores, who will soon become the first Hispanic to serve as a bishop in the Archdiocese of Detroit, is a man passionate about education, an engaging preacher who peppers his sermons with personal stories and a priest with a special sensitivity for those in need. Oh, and he's a baseball fan. (Note to Tigers: He's a Yankees fan, so he's a candidate for conversion.) "He's a real down-to-earth guy," Michael Mantz, a deacon at Corpus Christi Cathedral in Texas, where Flores most recently served as rector, said Saturday. "I would say that Msgr. Flores is probably one of the most well-liked and respected priests in this diocese."
