A new Archbishop is set to be installed in Dublin tomorrow following an appointment by Pope Francis last December.
Dermot Farrell will be installed at a special mass at St Mary's Pro Cathedral tomorrow at 10.30am.
The mass will not be open to the public and will instead be streamed online as part of COVID-19 health measures.
The Principal Celebrant will be Archbishop Farrell and he will be joined by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin and His Excellency Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo, Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland.
A former President of Saint Patrick's College in Maynooth, Bishop Farrell was born in 1954, the eldest of seven children of the late Dermot and Carmel Farrell, in Garthy, Castletown-Geoghegan, Co Westmeath, in the Diocese of the Meath.
He was appointed Archbishop-elect of Dublin on 29 Dublin 2020 and had previously been ordained Bishop of Ossory in Saint Mary’s Cathedral, Kilkenny, on 11 March 2018.
Archbishop Farrell said: “Since my appointment by Pope Francis on 29 December, I have been overwhelmed by the good wishes and support extended to me as I embark upon my new ministry as Archbishop of Dublin.
"I am acutely conscious that, to be effective, my broad pastoral role will require collaboration with many people and will involve difficult decisions. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers and I ask that you please pray that the Holy Spirit will help guide and strengthen me in my new role as Archbishop.”
