Gibraltarian priest Mark Miles was ordained an Archbishop on Sunday in a moving ceremony during which he was commended to work with “an open, generous, steadfast and compassionate heart” in his new role as Apostolic Nuncio to Togo and Benin.
Archbishop Miles was appointed the papal ambassador to the west African countries by Pope Francis, whose mandate was read to the congregation of about 800 people gathered in the Europa Point sports hall, transformed for the occasion with an altar as the focal point for the service.
