Bishop Ger Nash is installed as Bishop of Ossory

In brief

Bishop Ger Nash was installed as the Bishop of Ossory during a ceremony at St Mary’s Cathedral in Kilkenny on Sunday, September 13. Archbishop Dermot Farrell led the installation following Nash's appointment to the diocese on July 29.

The ceremony was attended by family, friends, parishioners, and bishops from various dioceses. The installation unites the dioceses of Ossory and Ferns in persona episcopi, meaning they are joined in the person of the bishop.

During his homily, Bishop Nash stated that he intends to build a collaborative Church within the dioceses of Ossory and Ferns. He noted that his new role would require him to rearrange and delegate work on a large scale, which he said would affect the ministry and lives of many people in both dioceses.
