Statement from Bishop Designate Mark Eckman on the Passing of Bishop Emeritus

I was saddened to learn of the death of Bishop Lawrence Brandt, Bishop Emeritus of Greensburg. His many years of service leave a legacy marked by fidelity, intelligence, and strength.

I join Bishop Zubik and the people of the Diocese of Pittsburgh in offering prayers for the repose of Bishop Brandt’s soul and in extending our sympathies to Bishop Kulick, the clergy, and the faithful of the Diocese of Greensburg.

May Bishop Brandt now be welcomed into the arms of the Good Shepherd and may the promise of the Resurrection bring comfort and hope to all who mourn his passing.
