Elder Patrick Kearon: A Compassionate British Convert Joins LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Elder Patrick Kearon has been called as the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was ordained by President Russell M. Nelson and other church leaders. Elder Kearon, who previously served as the senior president of the Presidency of the Seventy, expressed humility and trust in the Savior as he takes on this sacred call. He fills the vacancy left by the death of President M. Russell Ballard. Elder Kearon's diverse background and experiences have shaped his ministry, and he will be sustained at the April 2024 general conference.
