In November 1993, Auxiliary Bishop Alfred C. Hughes of the Archdiocese of Boston, was installed as Baton Rouge's fourth bishop. He continued to emphasize spiritual growth for the Catholic people of the diocese, especially by active social justice programs and deeper doctrinal formation in accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He called courageously for fidelity to the Church and to her teachings in confronting the secularism of the modern world. He reorganized diocesan programs of vocational recruitment and began a comprehensive process designed to cope with declining numbers of ordained ministers in local parishes. A major capital fundraising campaign, designed to achieve certain specific objectives and focus attention on the need for the Church to face the future with confidence and faith, was overwhelmingly successful. In February 2001, Pope John Paul II appointed Bishop Hughes as Coadjutor Archbishop of New Orleans, where he subsequently succeeded the metropolitan archbishop in January of 2002.
