Archbishop Treanor will continue to govern as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Down and Connor, as sede vacante, until he takes up appointment in Brussels in mid-to-late January 2023. An announcement will be made regarding the pastoral care and governance of the diocese on his departure, pending the appointment of a successor.
In response to his appointment as Apostolic Nuncio to the European Union, the newly appointed Archbishop said, “I am honoured that His Holiness, Pope Francis has appointed me as Apostolic Nuncio to the European Union. I have accepted this appointment and, with God’s grace, I will seek to carry out this mission which has been entrusted to me.”
