Fr Barron Becomes Auxiliary Bishop
POPE NAMES THREE NEW AUXILIARY BISHOPS FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES
ARCHISHOP GOMEZ TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE TO PRESENT NEWLY NAMED AUXILIARY BISHOPS IN THE CATHEDRAL OF OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS AT 10 A.M. TODAY
Pope Francis today named Msgr. David O’Connell and Msgr. Joseph Brennan from Los Angeles and Father Robert Barron from Chicago auxiliary bishops of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Also, today Pope Francis announced that he has accepted the retirement of Bishop Gerald Wilkerson, Auxiliary Bishop for the San Fernando Pastoral Region, upon reaching the retirement age for bishops, which is 75 years old.
Archbishop José H. Gomez will hold a press conference today, Tuesday, July 21, at 10 a.m., inside the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 555 W. Temple Street, downtown LA to address the appointments and present the three newly named bishops.
“I think it is clear that in appointing these new auxiliary bishops, Pope Francis really understands what the Church needs — not just here in Los Angeles, but also in the United States and across the Americas,” said Archbishop Gomez. “I believe each of these new auxiliary bishops will help us in our mission here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles — the beautiful mission we have of sharing the love of God and the message of Jesus Christ and promoting human dignity and mercy and justice in our society.”
The press conference will be live streamed at: archla.org/live. For more information regarding the announcement and on each of the newly named bishops, visit www.angelusnews.com
