MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Press Club's next Newsmaker Luncheon will feature Milwaukee's new Roman Catholic archbishop, the Most Rev. Jerome E. Listecki.

The event will take place Tuesday, March 9, from 11:45 to 1:30 p.m. at the Newsroom Pub in downtown Milwaukee at 137 E. Wells St.

Listecki, a Chicago native, was installed as the 11th archbishop of the 10-county Milwaukee Archdiocese on Jan. 4, replacing Archbishop Timothy Dolan, now archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York. Listecki came to Milwaukee from La Crosse, where he served as bishop since 2005.

In the Milwaukee Archdiocese, where there are 644,000 registered Catholics, Listecki said he would focus on Catholic identity, stewardship and evangelization.

Listecki is also a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserves.

A panel of professional journalists will interview Listecki during the Newsmaker luncheon.
