Peace!
Today Francis Cardinal George introduced his successor! His Holiness Pope Francis has appointed the Bishop of Spokane, Washington, Most Reverend Blase J. Cupich, as the ninth Archbishop of Chicago, the Vatican announced today (September 20, 2014). Archbishop Cupich will be installed as Archbishop of Chicago on November 18, 2014, at Holy Name Cathedral.
Our community is tremendously grateful for the support, encouragement, friendship and prayers of Cardinal George, who has served as Archbishop of Chicago for over 17 years. Please keep both Cardinal George and Bishop Cupich in your prayers during this time of transition. We look forward to meeting our new Archbishop soon!
