Bishop Werth
One of the Hörner cousins who still lives in Russia is Bishop Joseph
Werth. He is the Catholic bishop of Siberia and the Russian Far East. His
mother is Maria Hörner who was born December 23rd, 1931 in Speier,
Ukraine. Maria's father was Dominic Hörner, who was also born in Speier.
Named titular bishop of Bulna and Latin-rite Apostolic Administrator of
Siberia by Pope John Paul II on April 13, 1991, Werth had at that time two
Ukrainian-born priests to help him find and minister to an estimated million
and a half Catholics. Since then he has assembled a cosmopolitan team of
over a hundred priests, sisters, brothers and lay missionaries from 18
different countries -- especially Poland, Germany, and Slovakia -- but
including also Nicaragua, Lebanon, India, Argentina, South Korea, and many
other European countries. At least 14 are from the United States.
