THE ordination of the Diocese of Cloyne’s new bishop on Sunday will be streamed online amid unprecedented interest in the appointment.
Canon William Crean will be ordained at St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh on Sunday during an invitation-only ceremony at 3pm.
Parishes throughout the diocese have been restricted to 25 places for parishioners at the ceremony due to the demand to be present for the event. The Diocese of Cloyne has 46 parishes, 107 churches and 150,000 parishioners.
Up to 150 priests will attend the ordination, as will Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles Brown, the Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, Dr Dermot Clifford and Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin. St Colman’s Cathedral has a capacity of approximately 600.
