Paul Ling Jiansen. Jiangmen (Agenzia Fides) – The Episcopal Ordination of Paolo Liang Jiansen was held on Wednesday, 30 March in the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Jiangmen, Guangdong province. Bishop Jiansen is 46 years old and he has been a priest for 19 years. He was approved by the Holy See to the Office for Bishops in the Diocese of Jiangmen (Kongmoon). The Chinese authorities authorised his ordination. The Solemn Mass was presided at by Archbishop Joseph Gan Junqiu of Guangzhou, assisted by Bishop Joseph Liao Hongqing of Meixian and Bishop Paul Su Yongda of Beihai. Also taking part in the celebration were Bishop John Baptist Tan Yanquan of Nannning, Bishop John Baptist Suguang Nanchang Li Bin Shen and Bishop Joseph Haimen. All these Bishops are in communion with the Holy See and recognised by the Government. Bishop Paul Liang said he was happy to have been ordained by his seminary classmates in a celebration that took place very calmly. The newly ordained Bishop's mother and relative attended the celebration, along with more than a thousand faithful from his diocese or from the provinces of Guangdong and Shanxi, as well as Hong Kong and Macao. Bishop Liang was born May 6, 1964. Having completed his studies in the regional seminar in Wuhan, in Hubei, he was ordained a priest on December 8, 1991. He served the diocese as the first parish priest (1995-2004) and then as Vicar General of his predecessor, who died in 2007.
