It was announced on Tuesday last that Pope Francis has appointed Canon Peter Collins, a priest of the Archdiocese of Cardiff to be the next Bishop of East Anglia. He succeeds Bishop Alan who has been our bishop for the last nine years. We are most grateful to Bishop Alan for his faithful and generous service, and we wish him health and happiness in his retirement. We pray especially for Bishop Alan and, also, for Bishop-elect Peter during these coming weeks. The Episcopal Ordination of the new bishop will take place at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Baptist, Norwich, on December 14, 2022, at 11:30am.
