New Bishop of Ossory installed at ceremony on the weekend

In brief

Bishop Ger Nash was installed as the Bishop of Ossory on Sunday, September 13, during a ceremony at St Mary’s Cathedral in Kilkenny. The installation follows his appointment to the diocese on July 29. Archbishop Dermot Farrell led the ceremony, which was attended by family, friends, parishioners, and bishops from various dioceses.

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