"Today, Pope Francis named Bishop Joe S. Vasquez as the 9th Bishop and 3rd Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The priests, deacons, religious women and men, diocesan staff, and lay faithful of the Diocese of Austin congratulate Bishop Vasquez on this profound expression of confidence by the Holy Father. While we will dearly miss his steady leadership, strengthened by his faithful life of prayer and service to God's people, we rejoice with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston that they will have a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. We hold Bishop Vasquez in our daily prayers as he prepares for this new mission in his episcopal ministry." - Very Reverend James A. Misko, Vicar General Click the link to read the letter by Fr.
