Pope names new leader for Milwaukee archdiocese
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Archdiocese of Milwaukee says a successor has been named to the archbishop post once held by Timothy Dolan.
Bishop Jerome Listecki of La Crosse, Wis., was named the 11th archbishop of the archdiocese by Pope Benedict XVI. A news release from the archdiocese says the Vatican announced the selection Saturday.
The 60-year-old Listecki will lead the archdiocese of some 675,000 parishioners and 211 churches. He succeeds Dolan, who was named archbishop of New York earlier this year.
Listecki has led the La Crosse diocese since March 2005. The Chicago native will be installed as archbishop in January.
