Bishop Dunn is presently an auxiliary for the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The announcement came from the Archbishop of Halifax Anthony Mancini in a press release. “We are grateful to the Holy Father for recognizing the particular needs of our church by naming a new bishop in such a timely manner,” said Father Paul Abbass, spokesperson for the Diocese of Antigonish, in a release. “While our diocese is facing times of challenge and struggle, we are also a diocese with a history of deep faith and working together. It is in this spirit that we continue to seek pathways to healing and rebuilding. We are pleased to welcome Bishop Dunn as he joins us on this journey forward and we offer him our co-operation and support. “While Bishop Dunn will not be formally installed as our new bishop until the new year, we will continue to work together toward the healing and rebuilding which are called for.” Bishop Dunn replaces Bishop Raymond Lahey, who resigned prior to being charged with possessing and importing child pornography in September. *For more, see Monday’s Cape Breton Post
