Pope Leo has today appointed the Right Reverend Nicholas Hudson as the new Bishop of Plymouth, ending a long period of uncertainty in the diocese.
Bishop Hudson, until now an Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster and Titular Bishop of St German’s in Cornwall, is set to assume leadership of the Diocese of Plymouth and its pastoral mission across Devon, Cornwall and Dorset.
Ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Southwark in 1986, Bishop Hudson entered episcopal ministry in 2014 and brings nearly four decades of priestly experience in parish work, seminary formation and diocesan leadership.
