He also established a second radio station (WLMS 88.3 FM) to reach the northern portions of the diocese. Favalora made Catholic education a priority within the diocese. He gave his leadership to the Catholic Education Foundation to ensure the continued existence of the Catholic schools within the diocese. He also took an active role in planning for the future construction of new Catholic schools. Declaring "A Year of Favor From The Lord", Favalora presided over a fourteen-month celebration marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Bishop Favalora closed the Jubilee Year with a solemn Pontifical Liturgy at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle on April 17, 1994. In November, Favalora was named the Third Archbishop of Miami and was installed on December 20. After nearly a year of vacancy in which Monsignor Brendan Muldoon administered the diocese, Pope John Paul II appointed Monsignor Robert N. Lynch the Fourth Bishop of St. Petersburg on December 5, 1995. A priest of the Archdiocese of Miami, former rector of the St. John Vianney College Seminary in Miami, and former General Secretary to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Lynch was already well known in the diocese. He was consecrated bishop in his own Cathedral, only the fourth time in Florida history and the first time in seventy-four years, on January 26, 1996, by Archbishop John C. Favalora. Bishop Lynch's consecration brought the largest number of bishops to the diocese at one time. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin delivered the homily. Lynch continued the reorganization and management of the diocese begun under Favalora. He commissioned the building of a new Pastoral Center, and on March 31, 2000, the newly erected Bishop W. Thomas Larkin Pastoral Center was formally dedicated. The purpose of this new edifice was rededication to service in one space, one place, and it brought together under one roof ministries from several locations throughout the diocese. Like Favalora, Lynch made Catholic education, in the Catholic schools as well as in the religious education programs of the parishes, a top priority in the diocese. He also took an active role in planning for the future construction of new Catholic high schools, and improvements to the existing schools. From the beginning of his episcopacy, Lynch made himself present to the priests, deacons, religious, and faithful of the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
