After serving as Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
for the last four years, Rob Fergus has moved with his family to the
Philadelphia area. In his place, regional church leader, President Bruce Jones of
Morristown, has extended the call to local Asbury resident, Michael Rocco, to serve
as the next Bishop in Clinton.
A bishop is the leader of a local congregation, known as a ward, with duties
similar to those of a pastor, priest or rabbi. A bishop oversees spiritual as well
as practical matters, helping members to come unto Christ in all areas of their lives.
In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this position is unpaid and typically
lasts for a duration of about five years. Of this new opportunity to serve as bishop of
the Clinton congregation, Rocco said, "What I enjoy most about my calling as bishop
is witnessing the change in people through Christ's Atonement."
Bishop Michael Rocco was born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New
York. He graduated from the University of Southern California. It was in California
that he met his wife, Rochelle, and converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. He and Rochelle have three grown children. Rocco is currently a successful
clinical trial benefactor for Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Rocco will lead the members of the Clinton congregation with the assistance
of two additional lay clergy, Frank White of Lebanon as first counselor,
and David Pond of Alexandria, as second counselor. Together, this bishopric
oversees the spiritual and social needs of the members of the congregation.
The Clinton congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
meets every Sunday at 10:00 am, 7 Red Schoolhouse Rd, Lebanon.
