The Most Reverend Gregory Kelly
Bishop of Tyler
Monsignor John P. Bell
Bishop Kelly is a native of Iowa and grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He studied for the priesthood in Holy Trinity Seminary at the University of Dallas in Irving, TX and was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. He served as Parochial Vicar at All Saints in Dallas, Chaplain at the University of Dallas in Irving; and Pastor at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in McKinney. In 2008 he was appointed Vicar for Clergy and was ordained as Auxiliary Bishop of Dallas February 11, 2016. He became 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler on February 24, 2025.
.
I was ordained a priest at St. Bernard Church in Dallas on May 3, 1975. I benefited from the generosity and foresight of Catholics in the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth who made it possible. Those Catholics in the DFW area in the 50’s and 60’s did not know who I was. However, they wanted a future for the Catholic Church and for the parishes who would be serving their progeny and other Catholics to be born in or to come to the Dallas area. Now you can continue their efforts for future priests to serve us in the Diocese of Dallas.
