Yes they do! Bishop Anthony Taylor of the Diocese of Little Rock has been on FB since shortly after his Ordination as Bishop here in the state. And he’s an active participant as he posts comments, homilies, etc.
Indeed, they do! Bishop Slattery of the Diocese of Tulsa, and Archbishop Coakley of the Archdiocese of Eastern Oklahoma both have Facebook pages.

So do Archbishop Gomez (LA), Archbishop Chaput (Philadelphia), Archbishop Dolan (NY), Cardinal George (Chicago), Bishop Cistone (Saginaw), Cardinal Rigali (Philadelphia emeritus), Cardinal Mahony (LA, emeritus), Cardinal DiNardo (Houston), Archbishop Carlson (St. Louis), and Bishop Nickless (Sioux City).
