The Rev. Robert M. Gillelan, Jr., pastor of Prince of Peace parish in Steelton on Monday was selected diocesan administrator by the College of Consultors of the Diocese of Harrisburg.
Gillelan had previously assisted in the running of the diocese, serving as Vicar General/Moderator of the Curia for the late Bishop Joseph P. McFadden.
McFadden died Thursday of a heart attack at the age of 65.
“My previous position as Vicar General has helped to prepare me for this new role,” Gillelan said in a written statement released to the news media. “I appreciate the confidence the College of Consultors have in me by electing me to this position.”
