Bishop David Toups was ordained and installed the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Beaumont on August 21, 2020. Growing up as the youngest of three children in both Louisiana and Florida, he was ordained a priest in 1997 for the Diocese of St. Petersburg, and received his doctorate in Rome in 2004. He has previously served in parish ministry in Florida, in the office of the USCCB's Secretariat of Clergy, Consecrated Life, and Vocations in Washington, DC, and as a seminary professor, dean, and rector/president at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. He is responsible for numerous articles and is the author of three books. Since becoming bishop, he has been instrumental in building up the local community in Southeast Texas, especially through his daily broadcast "For the Good," based on his episcopal motto, Romans 8:28, "For those who love God, all things work together for the good."
