YOUNGSTOWN — As bishop of the Youngstown Diocese, George V. Murry will face declining Catholic school enrollment and the problem of fewer men entering the priesthood, but he says he also looks forward to the opportunities in his new role.

“I’m very happy to be here and I look forward to meeting the people of the Diocese,” Bishop Murry, 58, said today.

The bishop, with his easy smile, quick laugh and countenance that resembles a young James Earl Jones will be installed in an invitation-only ceremony Wednesday at St. Columba Cathedral as the diocese’s fifth bishop.
