New Archbishop

Malta's new Archbishop is Fr Paul Cremona OP, according to an exclusive Maltastar report. An official announcement is expected tomorrow Saturday at noon:

Reliable sources have exclusively confirmed to maltastar.com that the bishop elect of the Archdiocese of Malta is expected to be Fr Paul Cremona S.Th.L & D., OP. The official announcement is expected to be made at noon on Saturday. This brings to an end the seemingly interminable three year wait as to who the successor of Monsignor Joseph Mercieca as Archbishop of Malta was to be.

Fr Cremona is currently the parish priest of the Dominican parish of Jesus of Nazareth, Sliema and the Provincial Director of the Maltese Lay Dominicans. Fr Cremona was born in Valletta on January 25, 1946 and was ordained a priest on March 22, 1969. He also served as the Prior Provincial of the Maltese Dominican Province between 1982 and 1989.
