Bishop Frank Leo was appointed auxiliary Bishop of Montreal just five months ago – and so, he says, it was “a big surprise” to receive a call from the Apostolic Nuncio in January, informing him that the Holy Father intended to name him as Archbishop of Toronto.“We are called to serve. That’s our whole life; it’s what Jesus did. It’s what our vocation is all about.
The Archbishop-elect has a close connection to the Blessed Mother, having specialized in Marian studies during for his licentiate and doctorate in theology. His nomination to the Archdiocese of Toronto was announced on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, and his installation in the See will take place on the Solemnity of the Annunciation.Asked about his priorities for in his new ministry, Bishop Leo said, “I’m there to discern. I’m there to observe.
He added, “For me, the whole concept of charisms is key, the charisms that the Holy Spirit gives all members of the Body of Christ – clergy, laity, consecrated – helping everyone to discern and call forth a greater generosity and bringing those charisms to the larger community again, to build up the Body of Christ.”The path of discernment corresponds with the ongoing synodal process undertaken by the Church under Pope Francis.
He added, “I want to be a loyal husband and a loyal father, a spiritual father. And so I see my ministry in those nuptial terms, if you will, as a giving, loving, selfless father and husband, ready to make sacrifices for the good of his family.”
