Archbishop Timothy Broglio Appoints New Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia

WASHINGTON, DC – As a sign of continual pastoral concern for those entrusted to the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio announced today that Monsignor Jeffrey Laible, the current Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, has agreed to serve the faithful at Maxwell Air Force Base.  The role is crucial for the pastoral care of those serving at the installation, those at the base for training or additional studies, and those with a long association to the chapel. He hopes to take the reins from Father Linn Harbour, the current GS (General Schedule) priest who is about to begin a well-deserved and long-awaited retirement from those responsibilities. To serve as the new Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, Archbishop Broglio has appointed the Rev. Msgr. Anthony Frontiero, S.T.D. (see curriculum vitae), currently the Pastor of St. Matthew Parish in Windham, New Hampshire.  The new Vicar General will assume his responsibilities on July 1,  2023.
