DENVER – In a homecoming of sorts, Fargo Bishop Samuel J. Aquila has been named the new archbishop of the Denver archdiocese.
Aquila, 61, was ordained in Denver in 1976, and worked in several Colorado parishes there until coming to Fargo 11 years ago. He’s been the bishop of the Diocese of Fargo since 2002.
He’ll remain in Fargo until shortly before he is installed in Denver on July 18.
At a news conference in Denver Tuesday, Aquila said he learned of the appointment last week.
