Vatican announces new episcopal appointments in Cuba and Paraguay

Pope Leo XIV has announced several leadership changes within the Catholic Church. In Cuba, the Pope accepted the resignation of Monsignor Dionisio García as Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba. Monsignor Juan Gabriel Díaz Ruiz, currently the Bishop of Matanzas, has been named the new prelate for the diocese. García had led the jurisdiction for over 19 years.

In Paraguay, the Pope accepted the resignation of Monsignor Joaquín Hermes Robledo Romero as Bishop of San Lorenzo following him reaching the age limit established by canon law. Monsignor Pierre Jubinville, formerly the Bishop of San Pedro and current president of the Paraguayan Episcopal Conference, has been appointed as the new bishop of San Lorenzo. Robledo will serve as Apostolic Administrator until his successor officially takes office.
