Bishop-elect Father Kenrick Forbes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The episcopal ordination of Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Roseau, Fr Kendrick Forbes, will take place on Thursday July 25, 2024.<\/p>\n

This is according to a statement from the Archbishop of Nassau, Patrick Christopher Pinder, on Wednesday May 8.<\/p>\n

He said the ceremony will begin at 4:00 pm in Roseau on the Feast of St. James the Apostle.<\/p>\n

On Thursday last week, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had elected Fr Forbes as the next Bishop of the Diocese of Roseau.<\/p>\n

He replaces Archbishop Gabriel Malzaire, who served as Bishop for 20 years before being named Metropolitan Archbishop of Castries, St Lucia in 2022.<\/p>\n

Since the Diocese of Roseau had been without a Bishop since the departure of Archbishop Malzaire, the news of Fr. Forbes’ election was greeted with elation in Dominica.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial reaction for myself and pretty well everyone is joy,\u201d Monsignor William John-Lewis, Delegate of the Apostolic Administrator in the Diocese of Roseau, told Dominica News Online. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The episcopal ordination of Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Roseau, Fr Kendrick Forbes, will take place on Thursday July 25, 2024.
