Pope Francis Accepts Resignation of Archbishop Jerome Listecki of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee; Appoints Bishop Jeffrey Grob as Successor

The Most Rev. Jeffrey S. Grob, an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago since 2020, has been named the 12th Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee today by Pope Francis! Archbishop-Designate Grob, 63, succeeds the Most Rev. Jerome E. Listecki, who gave his notice of retirement on his 75th birthday March 12.

Archbishop-Designate Grob will be installed as Archbishop of Milwaukee on January 14, 2025, by the Papal Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre. Until that time, Archbishop Listecki serves as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.

Archbishop-Designate Grob grew up in Cross Plains outside Madison and has served in the Archdiocese of Chicago since he was ordained to the priesthood there in 1992. Find out more here: www.archmil.org/bishop-grob.

“While still recovering from the surprise of the Holy Father’s appointment, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to take up this new role in my home state,” said Archbishop-Designate Grob. “And trusting deeply in the Lord’s goodness, I commit myself to the service of the people of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. I am excited to get to know them and look forward to growing together in faith.”

Please keep the Archbishop-Designate Grob and Archbishop Listecki in your prayers in this time of transition!
