THE Pope last night announced the appointment of a NSW priest as Bishop of Toowoomba, replacing Bishop Bill Morris, who was effectively sacked last year.
The new bishop will be Monsignor Robert McGuckin, 68, a senior priest of the Diocese of Parramatta, where he is Episcopal Vicar for Health and Social Welfare.
He is also a part-time lecturer in the School of Law at the University of Notre Dame and has degrees in theology and church law.
After leaving school he worked in banking for several years before studying for the priesthood and being ordained in 1973.
