HOUSTON — The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI named Auxiliary Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of the archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to be the bishop of Austin.
The announcement Tuesday said Vasquez will be installed on March 8.
Vasquez, 52, who is a native of Stamford, was an auxiliary bishop of Galveston-Houston for eight years. He was ordained in San Angelo in 1984 and also served parishes in Odessa and Fort Stockton.
He will succeed Archbishop Gregory Aymond, who left the Austin diocese in June to be installed as the archbishop of New Orleans.
Monsignor Michael Mulvey, who earlier this month was named bishop of the Corpus Christi diocese, served as temporary administrator of the Austin diocese.
