Fr. Peter Faulk, the Judicial Vicar for the Diocese of Alexandria has been nominated to serve as an Adjunct Professor of Canon Law at the Pontifical Institute of Canon Law of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Father Peter told the Church Today “It is an honor to be asked by the Faculty of the University of Ljubljana to participate as one of its founding members of the Institute of Canon Law.  Part of the great legacy of the Church universal is its vast contribution to the world of education and culture. It will be an honor to be a part of this higher-education institution.”
