USA Today - The Rev. Patrick Conroy, a Jesuit priest, and former chaplain at Georgetown University, is Speaker John Boehner's choice to be the next chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Boehner said he consulted with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi about Conroy's appointment, which will be formally submitted to the House for consideration later this month.
