Congrats to Bishop André Gazaille

I have had the privilege of living and working with Bishop André Gazaille for the past 5 years. Yesterday, he was an auxiliary bishop here in Montreal, and one of the principal concelebrating bishops at my episopal ordination. Today, I had the privilege of being one of the concelebrating bishops at the mass in which he was installed as diocesan bishop of Nicolet, about 150 km north-east of Montreal. The cermony was full of joy and celebration.

Congratulations, Bishop Gazaille! Your desire to return to being a chief pastor has been fulfilled (albeit on a larger scale than the few parishes you once cared for). And congratulations to the diocese of Nicolet — you are receiving a man who will truly give his all for you.
