On Sunday, 19th September 2021, Canon Elaine Murray, Rector of Carrigaline Union, was installed to the Prebend of Timoleague on the Chapter of St Fachtna’s Cathedral, Rosscarbery.

The pandemic had delayed the installation and therefore in took place in the context of the Harvest Thanksgiving Service. Canon Murray was supported by a good gathering of family members, a full turn-out of the cathedral Chapter and members of the cathedral congregation.

This was the final occasion of its kind for the Dean of Ross, the Very Rev. Chris Peters, who took the opportunity to preach, reflecting on the place of St Fachtna’s Cathedral in the life of the diocese and the wider church.
