Bishop Garland was installed as the Bishop of Marquette on November 11, 1992.[citation needed] He served the Marquette diocese for 13 years. During this time the diocese celebrated the Jubilee Year 2000. The celebration began at Midnight on Christmas 1999 and continued throughout the following year. Events included a diocesan-wide celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Superior Dome in Marquette, at which 656 youths received the sacrament. An estimated 2,500 people attended a liturgical celebration August 20 at the Mattson Lower Harbor Park, also in Marquette.[3] Bishop Garland's resignation was accepted by the pope on his 74th birthday, December 13, 2005.
