Bishop John Barres will be installed Tuesday as the fifth bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, succeeding Bishop William Murphy, who has served since 2001. Barres, 56, takes over the eighth-largest diocese in the United States, with 1.5 million Catholics. He previously headed the Diocese of Allentown in Pennsylvania.
