Pope Leo XIV has extended the appointment of the Archbishop of Milan, Monsignor Mario Delpini, for one year. The news was published on the website of the Ambrosian Archdiocese. Delpini, who turned 75 last July 29, had submitted his resignation to the Pontiff, as is mandatory for all bishops worldwide. In recent days, a letter from the Apostolic Nuncio in Italy, Edgar Peña Parra, informed the archbishop that Leo XIV has “accepted said resignation with the nunc pro tunc formula, extending the appointment for one year.” After July 2027, Monsignor Delpini will remain in office until the publication of the appointment of his successor.
