The new Bishop of Raphoe will be formally installed in St Eunan’s Cathedral at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
Bishop Niall Coll, a native of St Johnston, was ordained Bishop of Ossory in KIlkenny three years ago this week, having previously served in a number of parishes in Donegal, and lectured in St Mary’s College, Belfast for almost 20 years.
