Jaime Soto for Sacramento as new coadjutor bishop

While Tuesday is normally "new bishop day" in the U.S., this morning's VIS provided a Thursday surprise:

The Holy Father appointed Bishop Jaime Soto, auxiliary of the diocese of Orange in California, U.S.A., as coadjutor of Sacramento (area 110,284, population 3,381,449, Catholics 541,321, priests 260, permanent deacons 127, religious 284), U.S.A.

Rocco has more details.

I'm glad Bp. Soto is escaping out from under Bp. Tod Brown.

Update: the Sacramento Bee has coverage.
