Rev. Bernard Hebda named archbishop for Twin Cities
By Jean Hopfensperger *Star Tribune *staff writer March 24, 2016
The news Thursday that Acting Archbishop Bernard Hebda will become the permanent leader of the Twin Cities archdiocese came as a relief to area Catholics — and as a shock to Hebda and Vatican observers.
Hebda, who has been splitting his time between the Twin Cities and Newark, N.J., since Archbishop John Nienstedt resigned last June, will be installed officially May 13.
When Hebda celebrated mass at the St. Paul Cathedral Thursday night, he was still wrapping his head around the fact that the cathedral is now home. He said he had no idea when he left Newark on Tuesday that the pope would make the announcement two days later.
Prayers and best wishes for the new Bishop.
