Congratulations, Bishop Lobsinger!

With joy and gratitude, the Waterloo Catholic District School Board congratulates the Most Reverend Bishop Wayne Lobsinger on his appointment by Pope Leo XIV as the 14th Bishop of the Diocese of Peterborough.

Bishop Lobsinger has been a true shepherd to our Catholic school communities. He has celebrated the sacraments with our students, encouraged our staff in their vocation as Catholic educators and walked in faith alongside our families. His pastoral presence has helped us live out our mission of nurturing the hearts and minds of our students in the light of Christ. We thank God for the gift of his ministry among us.

As he answers this new call to serve, we join the faithful of the Diocese of Hamilton and the Diocese of Peterborough in prayer for him. May the Holy Spirit guide him, and may Our Lady watch over him as he begins this exciting and well-deserved new chapter.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)
