【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2014 年 03 月 25 日羅馬慈幼會總部訊】 ─ 第 27 屆全會代表大會選出阿根廷南部會省省會長 Ángel Fernández Artime 神父，擔任鮑思高神父第十位繼任人。

選舉於早上十時二十分進行，只需首輪投票便有結果。

選舉結果正式公佈後，會場不斷傳出熱烈的掌聲。

Ángel Fernández Artime 神父現年 53 歲，於1960年8月21日在西班牙戈松出生，他於1978年9月3日矢發初願，1984年6月17日發永願，並於1987年7月4日晉鐸。他本屬萊昂會省，曾任青年牧民委員、奧倫塞學校的院長、會省議會議員及副省會長，他於2000至2006年間出任萊昂會省省會長。

在第26屆全會代表大會中，他擔任籌備工作技術委員會成員。2009年，他獲任命為阿根廷南部會省省會長，直至現在。他因而認識與他共事的布宜諾斯艾利斯教區總主教，貝戈格理奧樞機，即現任教宗方濟各。

他擁有牧民神學博士學位，以及哲學和教育學執照。

去年12月23日，他獲任命為西班牙瑪利亞進教之佑新會省的省會長，並將於今年五月上任。顯然，他不能再擔任這項工作，因為他將肩負整個慈幼會慈父的牧職工作。

Ángel Fernández Artime 神父，衷心祝願！
