Coadjutor Bishop

A Coadjutor Bishop is a designated assistant bishop who is appointed to work alongside an existing bishop and has the right to succeed them when they retire, resign, or pass away. This position allows for smooth leadership transition and additional support in overseeing the diocese’s clergy, churches, and communities. The Coadjutor often begins their duties before officially becoming the diocesan bishop, helping to ensure continuity and stability within the diocese’s leadership.
