POPE Francis has appointed a new Catholic bishop to the Diocese of Paisley.
Father John Keenan, left, a parish priest at St Patrick's Church in Glasgow, will fill the post left vacant by Bishop Philip Tartaglia, who became Archbishop of Glasgow.
Bishop-Elect Keenan said: "I have been uplifted at the congratulations and good wishes I have received which have given more confidence.
"Everyone I speak to says Paisley is a wonderful diocese with good priests and people full of faith."
