Bishop Stephen Wang ordained as sixth Bishop of Arundel & Brighton

Stephen Wang was ordained as the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton on Monday, October 19, at the Cathedral of Our Lady and St. Philip Howard. Pope Leo XIV announced Wang's appointment in July.

During the ordination Mass, Wang announced his episcopal motto, "Veritas in Caritate," which translates to speaking the truth in love. He noted that this phrase from the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians has influenced his ministry, including his work launching the Sycamore faith formation program in London and his previous role as rector of the Venerable English College in Rome.

The ceremony was attended by the papal nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, as well as local priests, religious orders, and lay Catholics. Representatives from neighboring Christian churches and the Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu traditions also attended the event.
