New bishop of Celje installed

By: J.S., STA

Maksimilijan Matjaž was installed as the new Bishop of Celje, almost three months after his appointment was announced by the Vatican.

The ceremony was held at the Cathedral of St. Hermagoras and Fortunatus in Gornji Grad, the biggest church in the Celje diocese, which allowed a larger number of guests and believers to attend in person, the Slovenian Bishops’ Conference said. The mass was delivered by Apostolic Nuncio Jean-Marie Speich and Prime Minister Janez Janša was among the guests.
