This morning in Rome it was announced that His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop James F. Checchio as the Coadjutor Archbishop of New Orleans. A “coadjutor” bishop is appointed to assist the diocesan bishop until his retirement. This means that New Orleans Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond will continue to lead the Archdiocese of New Orleans, until such time that the Holy Father accepts his resignation. When that happens, he will then be automatically succeeded by Archbishop-designate Checchio. In the meantime, Bishop Checchio now becomes the Administrator of the Diocese of Metuchen with our diocesan offices functioning as normal. A date for his departure to the Archdiocese of New Orleans is still being decided. Obviously, when that date becomes known, an announcement will be made for a Mass of farewell. More information can be found on our diocesan website and the website of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Bishop Checchio asks that you keep him in your prayers in a particular way in the days and weeks ahead.

For more information on today's appointment, please visit the webpages of the Diocese of Metuchen and The Catholic Spirit. The Archdiocese of New Orleans will live stream the introductory news conference today at 10 a.m. Central Time (11 a.m. Eastern Time). You may find links on their page ("Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans"), YouTube channel ("Archdiocese of New Orleans"), and the archdiocesan website (www.nolacatholic.org).
