Bishop Gerald Isaac Lobo of Udupi Retires at 75

Bishop Gerald Isaac Lobo, who has led the Catholic Diocese of Udupi for over a decade, stepped down today, marking the end of his ecclesiastical tenure.

He was appointed bishop in 2013 and has been instrumental in establishing new parishes, schools, and community outreach programs throughout the district.

With his retirement, the diocese plans to appoint a successor to continue his legacy of service and expand its social initiatives. The resignation was expected as the bishop reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, per canon law. Source: Google News – Udupi.
