Just a few weeks ago, the Holy Father announced the appointment of a new bishop for the Diocese of Valleyfield (Quebec). The chosen shepherd is His Excellency, Noël Simard, until now Titular Bishop of Nova Sinna and Auxiliary Bishop of Sault Ste. Marie.
The normal routine followed when a new appointment is made is that the Bishop in question has a period of three months from the date of his appointment after which he must be resident in his new diocese. Plans are fast and furiously being put into place, even as we speak.
Just yesterday, details of a farewell Mass and reception which will be held in honour of Bishop Noël were announced.
The date for Bishop Simard's installation as the eighth shepherd of Valleyfiled will take place on Thursday, February 23, 2011 in the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Cecilia, located in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
