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 (65), Bishop Foys (66), Bishop Stika (54), Bishop Gainer (64), Bishop Steib (71), Bishop Choby (64), and Bishop Medley (59).
Bishop Foys will celebrate 10 years as a bishop in July. Bishop Gainer will mark the same in January 2013.
Bishops Foys, Gainer, and perhaps Choby 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.

The ordinaries are, respectively: Archbishop Rodi (62), Bishop Morin (70), Bishop Baker (67), and Bishop Latino (74).
Bishop Latino reaches the normal retirement age in October and will celebrate 10 years as a bishop in March 2013.
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 (62), Bishop Herzog (69), Bishop Muench (69), Bishop Jacobs (73), Bishop Jarrell (71), Bishop Provost (62), and Bishop Duca (59).
There is one auxiliary in New Orleans: Bishop Fabre (48).
Bishops Herzog and Muench are at an age and length of service where they might be considered for other roles.
The next likely change will be the retirement of Bishop Jacobs after he reaches the normal retirement age in March 2013.
