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.
