Cyril Vasil ordained bishop

As I noted a few weeks ago, Jesuit Father Cyril Vasil, 44, was nominated by the Pope to be Secretary for the Congregation for the Eastern Churches serving the Church with Cardinal Leonardo Sandri. He was ordained a bishop today in the papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major, across the street from where he resided and taught Eastern Canon Law at the Pontifical Oriental Institute. Today, is also the Archbishop's 22nd anniversary ordination as a priest and both ordinations were done by the same bishop.
As his coat of arms suggest, Archbishop is "Always Prepared" to serve the Lord and the Church.

May God grant Archbishop Cyril many years!
