Congratulations, Bishop Growb
November 9 and 10 | All Masses
Join us in prayer for our former Episcopal Vicar, Bishop Jeffrey Grob, now named the Metropolitan Archbishop of Milwaukee. Sign a card in the vestibule when you attend Mass.
From Cardinal Cupich:
My congratulations to Archbishop-designate Jeffrey Grob on being named the Metropolitan Archbishop of Milwaukee.
For more than 30 years, the Archdiocese of Chicago and the People of God have been the beneficiaries of Archbishop Jeffery Grob’s compassion, scholarship and commitment to service. Pope Francis has recognized Archbishop Grob’s extraordinary gifts and is returning him to his native state of Wisconsin as leader of the Milwaukee archdiocese. Our deep gratitude and prayers go with him as he continues to follow Jesus and bring grace to the fortunate people of his new archdiocese.
