Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of Pittsburgh has been named chairman of the board of directors of the National Catholic Educational Association. The three-year term was announced today.
In January 1993, Our Sunday Visitor, a national Catholic newspaper, described Bishop Wuerl as "the education bishop." Two years later, Bishop Wuerl received the NCEA's Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for contributions to Catholic education.
He is co-author of the adult catechism, "The Teaching of Christ," now in its 29th year of publication and fifth edition. The book has been translated into more than 10 languages and is used throughout the world.
In 1990 the diocese was the first in the nation to have all of its schools accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and was reaccredited most recently in 2001.
