Welcome Archbishop-designate Casey
Pope Francis has announced that he has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Schnurr from pastoral governance of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and has appointed Most Reverend Robert G. Casey, Auxiliary Bishop and Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Chicago, to be the 11th archbishop of our archdiocese.
The Holy Father has appointed Archbishop Schnurr as Apostolic Administrator effective today, as well. In this role he will govern the archdiocese with the same powers and faculties as a diocesan Bishop until Archbishop-designate Casey formally takes possession of the See of Cincinnati.
Archbishop-designate Casey will be installed as Archbishop of Cincinnati at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains at a date to be announced. Additional information about the installation liturgy will be forthcoming.
As the Lord remains faithful to this promise, let us offer heartfelt prayers of thanksgiving for the 15-plus years Archbishop Schnurr has generously served our local Church and for the blessings of divine grace to be poured out upon Archbishop-designate Casey as he prepares for this new stage of his walk with the Lord in service of His people.
