New Canon's

The new canons (front row either side of Bishop Campbell) now join the ranks of the Cathedral Chapter, which has a role in supporting the work of the Cathedral and advising the Bishop. The Chapter is now back up to full strength; the new canons take the place of Bishop Campbell, who had been on the chapter during his time as Coadjutor Bishop, and Monsignor Canon Eddie Gould (R.I.P)
After the Mass the canons voted for a new Provost, whose role it is to chair chapter meetings and oversee their work. Canon Dunstan Cooper (back right) was elected to this role, which he will hold until he retires from the Chapter at his 75th birthday. Congratulations to him and to the two new canons.
