Vicar general
Pope Pius IX appointed Vincenzo Bracco in 1866 Titular Bishop of Magydus and ordered him to Auxiliary bishop in Jerusalem. His episcopal ordination was given to him on 13 May 1866 by reigning patriarch Giuseppe Valerga, and his co-consecrators were the Vicar Apostolic of Galla and later Cardinal Guglielmo Massaia, OFM Cap, and an Armenian bishop. He was also beside his episcopate a Vicar general.
