Former Gozo Bishop Mario Grech has been named cardinal by Pope Francis in a historic first for Gozo.
This follows Mario Grech’s stepping down from his Gozo Bishop position to take the job of Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops.
Grech is one of the 13 new cardinals to be named by Pope Francis this time round and the next Maltese cardinal to be named after Prosper Grech who passed away in December 2019.
