Jerome Hanus, archbishop of Dubuque, will retire, and his successor will be the bishop of Wichita, Kan.
The Dubuque Archdiocese says Bishop Michael Jackels of Wichita, Kan., has been appointed by Pope Francis to be the new archbishop of Dubuque. Jackels replaces Archbishop Jerome Hanus.
The Wichita diocesan website says Jackels was named the Wichita bishop in January 2005 by Pope John Paul II. Before being named to the post, Jackels worked for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome for eight years.
