Archbishop John Sherrington installed as tenth Archbishop of Liverpool
The Most Reverand John Sherrington has been installed as the tenth Archbishop of Liverpool during a Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. It was announced in April, just a few weeks before his death, that Pope Francis had elected Archbishop Sherrington as the successor of Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP who is retiring after 11 years as Archbishop. Thousands of Catholics of all ages from across the archdiocese gathered at the cathedral for the celebration which included Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, bishops and clergy from across England and Wales and civic leaders and representatives from other faiths. Archbishop Sherrington said: “The Mass of Installation was a joyous occasion; it was wonderful to see so many people from across the diocese and beyond gather together in prayer as we continue to preach Christ to the people of our time. “I give thanks to Archbishop Malcolm who has served the archdiocese with love and generosity, and I am honoured to succeed him. “I look forward to serving as a shepherd to this historic and faith-filled archdiocese and to bring the hope and joy of Christ to all people.” Archbishop Sherrington was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Nottingham on 13 June 1987 and has been an Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster and Titular Bishop of Hilta since 14 September 2011.

Installation at the Co-Cathedral Church of St Mary of the Isle, Douglas Isle of Man On Tuesday 10 June at 2pm, Archbishop John Sherrington took possession of his seat, which is a symbol of being the bishop of the Church, in the Co-Cathedral Church of St Mary of the Isle, Douglas, Isle of Man. As the Archdiocese of Liverpool has two cathedrals, a double celebration was been planned so Archbishop Sherrington could formally take possession of his ‘cathedra’ seat at both churches. St Mary’s is a co-cathedral to the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool. Co-cathedrals are rare in the Catholic Church but exist when a single diocese spans two distinct civil jurisdictions. |
