Region V (AL, KY, LA, MS, TN)
This province is composed of Louisville (KY), the metropolitan, and six suffragan dioceses: Covington (KY), Knoxville (TN), Lexington (KY), Memphis (TN), Nashville (TN), and Owensboro (KY).
The ordinaries are, respectively: Archbishop Kurtz (64), Bishop Foys (65), Bishop Stika (53), Bishop Gainer (63), Bishop Steib (70), Bishop Choby (64), and Bishop Medley (58).
Bishops Foys and Gainer are at an age and length of service that makes it likely for them to be considered for other roles.
No other changes seem likely in the next few years.
Mobile is the metropolitan along with 3 suffragan dioceses, namely: Biloxi (MS), Birmingham (AL), and Jackson (MI).
The ordinaries are, respectively: Archbishop Rodi (61), Bishop Morin (69), Bishop Baker (66), and Bishop Latino (73).
Archbishop Rodi will celebrate 10 years as a bishop in July.
No changes seem likely until Bishop Latino reaches the normal retirement age in October 2012.
New Orleans is the metropolitan with six suffragan dioceses, namely: Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Houma-Thibodaux, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Shreveport.
The ordinaries are, respectively: Archbishop Aymond (61), Bishop Herzog (68), Bishop Muench (68), Bishop Jacobs (72), Bishop Jarrell (70), Bishop Provost (61), and Bishop Duca (58).
There is one auxiliary in New Orleans: Bishop Fabre (47).
Bishop Mench is at an age and length of service where he might be considered for other roles.
Overall, it seems unlikely this province will see any changes in the next year or two.

Cleveland has the only auxiliary: Bishop Gries (73).
Archbishop Schnurr celebrated 10 years as a bishop last week.
Both Bishops Conlon and Blair are at an age and length of service that makes them likely to be considered for other roles.
