Pope Leo XIV has named Daniel J. Miehm as the new bishop of the Diocese of London, Ontario, Canada. Previously, he served as the bishop of Peterborough, Ontario.
Miehm takes over from Bishop Peter Fabbro in guiding the Diocese of London. Fabbro’s resignation was accepted when he turned 75, which is the mandatory retirement age for bishops.
Expressing his thanks for the trust placed in him by the Holy Father for this new position, Miehm remarked: “In this Easter season, as the Church celebrates the resurrection of Christ, we are invited to deep faith, trust in God, and hope in the promise of new life. It is in such a spirit that I embrace this new chapter in my continued service to the Church.”
“I ask your prayers for me, for all those I have served in Peterborough and for those whom I will meet and serve in my episcopal ministry in the Diocese of London,” he added in a statement from the Diocese of London.
Fabbro, who led the London Diocese for 24 years, said that Miehm “is a strong, compassionate leader with outstanding pastoral instincts and the wisdom to guide our diocese into the future. Under his episcopal leadership, the Diocese of London will be in very capable hands.”
