A new bishop for the Diocese of Leeds

Monsignor Marcus Stock has been appointed the new Bishop of Leeds by Pope Francis. 
The bishop-elect is the outgoing general secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference for England and Wales and will be the 10th Bishop of Leeds. 
He was ordained priest in 1988 and served as parish priest across the Birmingham Archdiocese, most recently at the parish of the Sacred Heart and St Theresa in Coleshill. He also served as director of the Diocesan Schools’ Commission and since 2009 he has been general secretary of the Bishops’ Conference.
Broughton-in-Craven Circle is the Leeds diocese.
