Lee A. Piché

The Vatican announced on June 15, 2015, that Pope Francis had accepted Piché's resignation as auxiliary bishop, citing the provision of canon law that allows a bishop to resign when some "grave reason" makes it impossible to continue to fulfill his duties.

On May 27, 2009, Piché was appointed as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and titular bishop of Tamata by Pope Benedict XVI. He received his episcopal consecration on June 29, 2009, from Archbishop John Nienstedt, with Archbishop Harry Flynn and Bishop John LeVoir serving as co-consecrators, at the Cathedral of St. Paul.

From 1994 to 1999, Piché taught undergraduate philosophy at the University of St. Thomas. He served as pastor of St. Joseph Parish in West St. Paul, Minnesota, (1999-2005), and of All Saints Parish in Lakeville, Minnesota (2005-2008). From 2000 to 2008, Piché served as chairman of the Archdiocesan Commission for Ecumenism and Interreligious Affairs. In June 2008, he was named pastor of St. Andrew Parish in St. Paul as well as vicar general and moderator of the curia for the archdiocese.

Piché was ordained into the priesthood for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis on May 26, 1984. He then served as associate pastor at St. Mark's Parish in St. Paul until 1987, when he joined the faculty of the University of St. Thomas. Piché then furthered his studies at St. Joseph Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey (1987-1988), and at Columbia University in New York City, earning a Master of Philosophy degree in 1994.
