Pope Francis appointed Bishop Thomas Zinkula of Davenport to lead Iowa’s Metropolitan Archdiocese of Dubuque.
Zinkula, 66, has led the Davenport Diocese in southeast Iowa since 2017.
The Archdiocese of Dubuque has been run by an apostolic administrator since the April 4 resignation of Archbishop Michael O. Jackels for health reasons. Jackels led the archdiocese for 10 years.
The Archdiocese of Dubuque serves over 190,000 Catholics across 17,403 square miles in north central and northeast Iowa.
