WASHINGTON — Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, 75, and has named Chicago Auxiliary Bishop Jeffrey S. Grob of Chicago as his successor. Archbishop Listecki, who has reached the age at which canon law requires bishops to turn in their resignation to the pope, has headed the Milwaukee Archdiocese since 2010. A Wisconsin native, Archbishop Grob has been a Chicago auxiliary since 2020. The resignation and appointment were publicized in Washington Nov. 4 by Cardinal Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Archbishop Grob, 63, will be installed as archbishop of Milwaukee Jan. 14 by Cardinal Pierre. (OSV News)
