Father Timothy Sullivan, C.S.P., takes on Memphis diocesan post
Father Timothy Sullivan, C.S.P., has been appointed the episcopal vicar for social ministry for the Diocese of Memphis, Tenn., by Bishop J. Terry Steib. While taking on his new post, Father Sullivan will continue his duties as pastor of St. Patrick Church in Memphis, where he has served since 2005.
Bishop Steib dissolved the former Associated Catholic Charities and reorganized the diocese’s social ministries with a new collaborative model of administration. Father Sullivan will now oversee Catholic Charities, The Diocese of Memphis Housing Corporation and St. Peter Villa. The change was brought about with the intention of strengthening the social justice ministry to more effectively serve those in need.
Father Sullivan earned a masters of divinity degree from the Washington Theological Union in Washington, D.C., where his pastoral thesis focused on Catholic social teaching and the empowerment of the poor through church-based community organization.
