CELEBRATION OF THE INSTALLATION
OF CANON MATT AS A MEMBER OF THE CATHEDRAL CHAPTER
On
18 January 2008, Bishop John Cunningham announced that Father
Matt McManus had been appointed a Canon of the Cathedral Chapter. He was formally
installed as a Canon in Saint Margaret's Cathedral, Ayr on 24 April 2008.
To mark
his appointment, there were two celebrations in the Parish Centre. On 25 April,
there was a party with a meal. Ciaran Sinclair piped in the new Canon and the
gathering was entertained by the choir of Saint Matthew's Academy, Saltcoats.
On 27 April, after 12 noon Mass, there was an 'open house' when parishioners were
invited to gather, meet and chat over snacks. There was a good turnout at both
events.
