In a recent announcement, the Apostolic Nunciature in Poland has confirmed a significant change in leadership within the Polish Catholic Church. Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz from his role as the Metropolitan Archbishop of Warsaw, marking the end of Nycz’s longstanding service in the position.
The Holy Father has appointed Archbishop Adrian Józef Galbas SAC, the former Metropolitan of Katowice, as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Warsaw. Archbishop Galbas, a member of the Pallottine religious order, has been an influential figure in Poland’s Catholic community and is expected to bring his pastoral and administrative experience to Warsaw.
