We congratulate His Grace, Archbishop Stephen Brislin, who has been created a Cardinal by Pope Francis at his Angelus address in Rome yesterday, 9th July 2023. The Church of Cape Town – and indeed the whole country – rejoices at this wonderful news! He has become South Africa’s third Cardinal, and will receive the red hat at the Consistory on 30 September in Rome.
Below is the YouTube video of the Pope’s address, as well as the text (in PDF format).
Sincere congratulations to Cardinal Stephen Brislin on this very special occasion. 🙏
