Mgr Lode Van Hecke

The Holy Father has today accepted the resignation of Mgr Lode Van Hecke O.C.S.O. as bishop of Ghent (Belgium), which role he has had since 2019.

He will soon return to his beloved Abbey of Orval, where he was abbot from 2007 until his appointment as bishop. We thank Mgr Lode for his service to the church, and wish him every blessing as he resumes monastic life.
