Archbishop Rivituso Installed as Third Archbishop of Mobile

September 5, 2025

Former Auxiliary Bishop Mark S. Rivituso of the Archdiocese of St. Louis was installed as the third Archbishop of Mobile on September 3, 2025, at the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

Archbishop Rivituso has a notable link to the Archdiocese of Mobile. He was ordained a priest on Jan. 16, 1988, by Archbishop John L. May, who led the then-Diocese of Mobile from 1969-1980 before being appointed to the Archdiocese of St. Louis.  

Archbishop Rivituso attended Cardinal Glennon College and Kenrick Seminary, both in St. Louis. He earned a licentiate in canon and civil law from St. Paul University in Ottawa, Canada.
