Pope Francis has appointed Bishop John Sherrington as Archbishop of Liverpool.
Archbishop-elect Sherrington will become the tenth Archbishop of Liverpool, succeeding Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP.
The Dominican, who has served as Archbishop of Liverpool since 2014, offered his resignation to Pope Francis in 2024, having reached the age of 75, at which bishops are required by canon law to tender their resignation. Formerly Bishop of Nottingham, Archbishop McMahon has served as a bishop for almost 25 years and was previously Prior of the Dominican community at Blackfriars, Oxford.
