Archbishop Vincent Appointed as New Archbishop of Westminster
As we go to press, Catholic Today has just heard the public announcement that Archbishop Vincent has been appointed, by Pope Benedict XVI, to succeed Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor as Archbishop of Westminster. Archbishop Vincent said: ‘I have received this appointment, and accepted it, only on the basis of the commitment to ministry in the Church and obedience to the Church’s authority that we all share.’
Archbishop Vincent will be deeply missed by us all. He can be assured of our prayers and best wishes at this time. His time among us as Archbishop has brought great blessings and many highlights. Here are just some of them.
Archbishop Vincent will be installed in Westminster Cathedral on Thursday 21 May. We shall cover this news more fully in May's edition of Catholic Today.
