Pope Benedict XVI has appointed two Archdiocese of Chicago priests to become auxiliary bishops for the archdiocese.
“I am grateful to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, for his appointing two priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago as auxiliary bishops here,” Cardinal Francis George of Chicago said June 13. “Both will bring their dedication to the Church and her people to the office of Bishop. They will make visible in their ministry the love of God for his Church.”
The bishops-elect are Fr. Andrew P. Wypych, pastor of St. Francis Borgia Parish, and Fr. Alberto Rojas, pastor of Good Shepherd Parish.
Cardinal George said that the Pope’s pastoral concern for the clergy, vowed religious and laity of the archdiocese is “clearly evident” in the appointments.
