POPE FRANCIS APPOINTS BISHOP EDWARD J. WEISENBURGER AS ARCHBISHOP OF DETROIT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger, currently Bishop of the Diocese of Tucson, as the sixth Archbishop of Detroit. The archbishop-designate succeeds Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron, who has served the archdiocese since 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new archbishop will be installed during a 2 p.m. Mass at the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament on March 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Archdiocese of Detroit is a Church steeped in rich history, vibrant ministries, and known for a committed clergy with a great passion for evangelization. I am humbled to be called to serve such a noble Church. Despite the challenge of leaving my happy home in the Diocese of Tucson, I promise the good people of the Archdiocese of Detroit my all,\u201d Archbishop-designate Weisenburger said. \u201cI am exceptionally grateful to Archbishop Vigneron for the warmth, kindness, and encouragement he expressed to me immediately upon learning of my assignment. His generous assurance of a warm welcome and his desire to be of fraternal help to me is a true blessing. It is my hope that his retirement will be marked by length of years, robust health, and many rich blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
