Almost one year ago to the day, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis has chosen Bishop Edgar Moreira da Cunha, S.D.V, to lead the Dicocese of Fall River.
The actual anniversary of his installation is Thursday, September 24th.
Bishop Cunha, 60, has served as the auxiliary bishop for the Newark diocese since 2003, and was appointed upon the retirement of Bishop George Coleman, who submitted his resignation after reaching the age limit of 75 in February of 2014.
Bishop Cunha had come to Fall River from Newark, N.J. At the time of his parting Archbishop of that disocese John J. Myers said that it was with a mixture of “sadness and joy” that the decision had been made adding, “I am confident that the priests, religious and laity of the Diocese of Fall River will quickly come to appreciate his many gifts as he undertakes his pastoral office among them.”
On the eve of the anniversary, frcconnect.org and Fall River Community Media is making arrangements to interview Bishop Cunha with that interview to be aired on Channel 95 later this month.
Stay tuned for the entire broadcast, and video clips to be air/posted on frcconnect.org.
