New archbishop named for St. Boniface
WINNIPEG — Pope Benedict XVI today named Most Reverend Albert LeGatt as Archbishop of Saint Boniface.
At the time of his appointment, he was Bishop of Saskatoon.
LeGatt's appointment follows the mandatory retirement of Most Reverend Émilius Goulet.
The Code of Canon Law sets the mandatory age of retirement for bishops at 75. Goulet, who turned 76 last May, has served the diocese of Saint Boniface for a little more than a year past his 75th birthday.
He had been appointed Archbishop of Saint Boniface in September 2001.
