Archbishop John congratulates Bishop Philip on his appointment. Bishop Philip Moger has been appointed as the 10th Bishop of Plymouth by Pope Francis.
Bishop Philip will be installed in due course. He has served in the Archdiocese of Southwark since he was episcopally ordained here in February 2023.
In November 2022, it was announced that Pope Francis had appointed Philip Moger as an Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Southwark. He was subsequently ordained as a Bishop by Archbishop John in February 2023 at St George’s Cathedral. Prior to that, he had held roles in Walsingham – as the Rector of the National Shrine – and as the Dean of Leeds Cathedral.
Please pray for Bishop Philip as he begins his new ministry with the diocese of Plymouth.
