Bishop-designate Vila preparing for a whole new world in Canada’s north

Bishop-designate Hector Vila, a native of Lima, Peru, will be taking over as the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Whitehorse. Pope Francis made the announcement on Nov. 27. No date has been finalized for Vila to be ordained a bishop.
