1st episcopal ordinations in Hong Kong since British rule
September 15, 2014
For the first time since the United Kingdom returned Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997, episcopal ordinations have taken place in Diocese of Hong Kong.
In July, Pope Francis appointed the diocese’s vicar general, the regional Franciscan superior, and the regional vicar of Opus Dei as auxiliary bishops.
“Many priests and lay faithful from China” were present at the ordinations, which took place on August 30, according to a L’Osservatore Romano report.
