80 years old (Born on June 22, 1945)
Happy Birthday, Bishop Gerald Richard Barnes! You've gracefully shepherded the Diocese of San Bernardino since 1995, guiding countless souls with wisdom and warmth. Your sermons have inspired many—though rumor has it your jokes during Mass are even more legendary than your homilies!From community outreach to interfaith dialogue, you've built bridges stronger than California's freeways (and certainly less congested!). Your dedication continues to uplift hearts and spirits across generations.
May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought others. Here's hoping your candles don't set off any church fire alarms—we know how enthusiastic parishioners can get!
