The 59-year-old has been Bishop of Greensburg, Pennsylvania since 2015.

After a months-long vacancy, Cleveland's Roman Catholics has selected its next leader.

Pope Francis has appointed Rev. Edward C. Malesic as the next Bishop of Cleveland. The announcement was made at 6 a.m. Thursday. He will be introduced at a 10 a.m. press conference. You can read his full bio at the bottom of this story.

"Father Don Oleksiak will continue serving as diocesan administrator until Bishop-designate Malesic’s installation on Sept. 14 during a Mass in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in downtown Cleveland," officials said.

Malesic has served as Bishop of Greensburg, Pennsylvania since 2015, and will now sit as the Diocese of Cleveland's 12th bishop since its formation in 1847.
