We offer our congratulations and prayers to Bishop Vincent Long, who was ordained the bishop of the Western Region of Melbourne on Thursday. Bishop Long is a refugee from Communist Vietnam escaping by boat in 1980. In 1981 he began his theology studies in Box Hill. Ordained in 1989, he was parish priest in Springvale from 2002 to 2008, when he went to Rome in a leadership position with the Franciscans. He replaces Bishop Prowse who was appointed to Sale in June 2009.
