Sixty-two-year-old Franciscan Paskalis Bruno Syukur was appointed a bishop by Pope Francis in 2013, after serving as Provincial of the Order of Friars Minor in Indonesia. Bishop Syukur expressed his wish not to be made a cardinal but to continue his personal spiritual growth and further deepen his priestly life.
