‘Canon’ James McAuley

At Midnight Mass here in the Cathedral, I was pleased to announce the recommendation of the Provost and Chapter of Canons that I appoint Fr. James McAuley to the Chapter. His installation will be at the next Chapter Mass on Tuesday 5th March 2024. The Chapter has a special role in the liturgical life of the Cathedral and in its general care, and its members are always special advisors to the Bishop on all sorts of pastoral matters. As the Dean of the Cathedral, it is great to have Fr. James in the Chapter as he is involved in the day to life of the Cathedral and the parish. So as we look forward to the installation, many congratulations to “Canon” James and the promise of our prayers.
