Archbishop Paul Etienne<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pope Francis has appointed the Most Reverend Paul Etienne, currently Archbishop of Anchorage, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read more about it in the Northwest Catholic<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archbishop Etienne was appointed by Pope Francis to eventually succeed Archbishop Sartain, who requested a coadjutor archbishop due to ongoing health challenges. ….<\/p>

Since 2012, Archbishop Sartain has experienced a succession of spinal issues, leading to three separate surgeries. While his surgeries were successful, Archbishop Sartain\u2019s back condition has continued to be painful and to negatively impact his energy and stamina.<\/p>


\u201cAbout eighteen months ago, I began praying for the Lord\u2019s guidance regarding the possibility of asking the Holy Father to appoint a coadjutor archbishop,\u201d said Archbishop Sartain. \u201cIn late September, I wrote Pope Francis and requested the appointment of a coadjutor archbishop, with a view toward retiring much sooner than expected because of my health. Pope Francis graciously responded positively to my request.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made this morning, on the Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena<\/a>, to whom Archbishop Etienne has a particular devotion<\/a>. In fact, he did his thesis on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor many years, I have seen St. Catherine as a companion and a kindred spirit,\u201d he said. \u201cShe called the Holy Father \u2018Sweet Christ on earth.\u2019 She was his emissary on various occasions, and she offered many sacrifices for the unity of the Church.\u201d<\/p>

Etienne asked for prayers through St. Catherine\u2019s intercession, that his ministry \u201cwill be fruitful and conducive to the unity of the Church and the salvation of God\u2019s people.\u201d<\/p>(Source<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So let us all pray for our two archbishops, Peter and Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O<\/span> God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son
to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty
and the salvation of mankind;
grant that they whom He hath chosen
to be His ministers and the stewards of His mysteries,
may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry
which they have received.
Through the same Christ Our Lord.
Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
