On July 3 Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Stuart R. Hall (63) a priest of Melbourne, Australia and Dean of the cathedral in Melbourne, as well as a Navy Chaplain to be the next Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Australia.

The arms he will assume, impaled with those of the Ordinariate, make allusion to academic institutions he has attended, as well as to the name Stuart.

The armorial bearings were designed by myself and Mr. Richard d’Apice and rendered very nicely by Mr. Sandy Turnbull.
