"This is news of the utmost importance, not only for our brother Fabien and for the diocese entrusted to him, but also for our entire religious family.
Barely two years after the appointment of Fr. Benoît Gschwind to the see of Pamiers (France), another leading European Assumptionist has been called to the episcopate. Like you, I welcome this news with great joy, giving thanks to God for the trust that such a choice on the part of the Church shows in one of our brothers and, through him, in our entire Congregation. And with you, I pray for Fr. Fabien as he begins his new ministry, that God's grace may never fail him. Fr. Ngoa Ya Tshihemba, Superior General
