Biography

Louis Kihneman was born on February 14, 1952, in Lafayette, Louisiana. On November 18, 1977, he was ordained by Bishop Thomas Drury to the priesthood for the Diocese of Corpus Christi at the Corpus Christi Cathedral.[1]

Pope Francis appointed Kihneman as the fourth bishop for the Diocese of Biloxi on December 16, 2016.[2][3] Kihneman was to be consecrated as a bishop on February 17, 2017, but due to health reasons, his consecration was postponed [4] until April 28, 2017.[5] He was consecrated then by Archbishop Thomas Rodi.
