Biography[]

Manz was born in Chicago, Illinois, and attended St. Martha School in Morton Grove, Illinois.[1] Graduating from Quigley Preparatory North in 1963, he then earned a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Niles College in 1967 and a Master's in Divinity from the University of St. Mary of the Lake in 1971.[1]

Manz was ordained to the priesthood by the Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago, John Cardinal Cody, on May 12, 1971.[2] He then served as associate pastor at Providence of God Parish until 1978, and at St. Roman Parish from 1978 to 1983.[1] He was pastor of St. Agnes of Bohemia Parish from 1983 to 1996, during which time he also served as dean of Chicago's Lower West Side (1987-1996).[1]

Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago[]

On January 23, 1996, Pope John Paul II appointed Manz as an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago and as the Titular Bishop of Mulia.[2] He was installed and consecrated on March 5 1996 by Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, with Bishops Wilton Gregory and Plácido Rodriguez serving as co-consecrators.[2]

As an auxiliary bishop, Manz served as Episcopal Vicar for Vicariate III until August 2011, when he transferred to Vicariate IV.[1]

Within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, he ws a chairman of the Subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, Refugees and Travelers; and a member of the Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church and Subcommittee on the Church in Latin America.

Pope Francis accepted Manz's resignation from the Archdiocese of Chicago on July 1, 2021.[3]
