The Holy Father has appointed Bishop Jamie Soto to be the coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento. He will assist Bishop William K. Weigand in 42,000 square mile diocese and will take over the position as bishop when Weigand retires.
After the announcement from Washington, D.C., Bishop Soto stated, “I am very honored by this appointment as the coadjutor bishop for Sacramento. This new turn of the road on faith’s journey with Christ Jesus fills me with anticipation as well as trepidation.”
