The announcement has been met with joy and anticipation by the Catholic community in Dominica, which has been waiting for over two years for a new bishop. Monsignor William Jno Lewis, a prominent figure in the Catholic community, shared his thoughts on the appointment. &quot;The initial reaction for myself and pretty well everyone is joy,&quot; he said. &quot;We have waited over two years to have a bishop. So that is the first thing. It means, of course, a lot of work ahead for all of us.&quot; Father Forbes, who will turn 49 in August, is coming from the Bahamas. His appointment has been welcomed, especially given that he is from the Caribbean region. &quot;We're very happy to have this very young person to be our next bishop,&quot; said Monsignor Lewis. While some may have hoped for a bishop from Dominica or the Eastern Caribbean, Monsignor Lewis emphasized the universality of the church. &quot;The church is very wide and the church is in Brussels,&quot; he explained. &quot;Nonetheless, we're very happy to have this very young person to be our next bishop.&quot; Monsignor Lewis had the opportunity to speak with Father Forbes and will be meeting with him via Zoom to discuss expectations and potential challenges. Father Forbes brings with him 19 years of experience as Vicar General of the Diocese of Ashdod and Nassau, and has served as the rector of the cathedral. His wide pastoral experience and educational background make him well-suited for the role of Bishop. In their conversation, Monsignor Lewis advised Father Forbes on the importance of listening, learning, loving, and leading. &quot;I think he's a man of enough experience in all of that, and I'm sure that he will do well,&quot; he said. When asked about the process of choosing a bishop, Monsignor Lewis explained that it involves consideration of years of ordination, pastoral experience, educational background, and emotional maturity. The church is universal, and people are asked for their opinions on potential candidates. These candidates are then shortlisted, and a final selection is made. Despite the joyous occasion, Monsignor Lewis acknowledged a general feeling in some circles that it would have been nice to have a bishop from the diocese, given its status as one of the oldest dioceses. However, he reiterated his happiness and anticipation for Father Forbes' leadership. As the Catholic community in Dominica welcomes their new bishop, they look forward to the love, leadership, and spiritual guidance he will bring to the Diocese of Roseau.\">\n<div class=\"ac-container ac-adaptiveCard\">\n<div class=\"ac-textBlock\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_321739\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-321739\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-321739\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick-642x361.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick-642x361.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jno-Lewis-Kendrick.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-321739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monsignor Jno Lewis, Father Forbes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Monsignor William John-Lewis, the Delegate of the Apostolic Administrator in the Diocese of Roseau, has expressed joy and anticipation at the appointment of Father Kendrick Forbes as the new Roman Catholic Bishop for the diocese.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initial reaction for myself and pretty well everyone is joy,\u201d Monsignor John-Lewis revealed in an interview with Dominica News Online. \u201cWe have waited over two years to have a bishop.
