The Patriarch Benedictus of Rome and All the West has nominated fr Teemu Sippo, a Finnish born priest, as the new RC Bishop of Helsinki and All Finland.
Many years, monia armorikkaita vuosia, Ad Multos Annos episcopus electus Teemu as the Bishop of Helsinki and Metropolitan of All Finland!

I believe Fr Teemu will be the first Finnish-born Catholic bishop in many centuries.
