Thursday, June 18, 2020RE: Election of a Diocesan Administrator
Since Bishop Marcel Damphousse has officially taken office as Coadjutor Archbishop of Ottawa-Cornwall, the Episcopal See for the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie is now vacant. According to Canon Law, a Diocesan Administrator must be appointed to ensure the proper functioning of the Diocese until the appointment of a new Bishop. The responsibility for electing a Diocesan Administrator rests with the College of Consultors.
This morning, Thursday June 18, 2020, the College of Consultors met by ZOOM. After having considered the needs of our Diocese as well as the gifts and talents of priests who could assume this responsibility, the College of Consultors elected Msgr. Jean-Paul É. Jolicoeur, P.H. as Diocesan Administrator. His mandate is effective immediately and will end once a new Bishop is appointed. We welcome him as interim leader of our Diocese. We thank him for accepting to render this Church service and we assure him of our support and prayer.
