The Bulletin of the Holy See Press Office publishes the day's appointments: Pope Leo XIV appoints Gerardo Antonio Vargas Cruz, O.F.M., Coadjutor Bishop of Fajardo-Humacao (Puerto Rico); Júlio César Gomes Moreira, until now auxiliary of Belo Horizonte, Bishop of Rubiataba-Mozarlândia (Brazil); and José Paulino Francisco Neto, of the Diocese of Araçuaí, Bishop of Porto Nacional (Brazil). On the morning of 8 September, the liturgical feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary, the episcopal ordination of Andrea Ding Yang, new Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chongqing in the Chinese province of Sichuan, was celebrated in St Joseph's Cathedral in Chongqing. The Pope had designated him last 18 July 2026, "having approved his candidacy within the framework of the Provisional Agreement between the Holy See and the People's Republic of China" on the appointment of bishops. The principal consecrator was Joseph Li Shan, Archbishop of Beijing, with six co-consecrators; some 350 priests, religious, seminarians and faithful took part in the celebration. Ding Yang, born on 16 September 1981 in Hechuan (Chongqing) and ordained a priest in 2007, studied at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.
