When His Excellency, Archbishop Joseph Tawil, presented his resignation on reaching the canonical age for retirement at 75, the Holy Synod meeting at Rabweh, Lebanon, in July of 1989, proposed Archimandrite Ignatius Ghattas to be Bishop. On December 11, the Holy See gave its consent. On February 23, 1990, Rev. Father Ignatius Ghattas was consecrated Bishop in St. Elias Melkite Catholic Church, Cleveland, Ohio. The reason was that Rev. Father Ignatius Ghattas had been appointed priest for that parish on February 19, 1955. Rev. Father Ignatius Ghattas was consecrated in the church which he had built, with Patriarch Maximos Hakim laying on his hands.
