Canon Kevin Brew Installed as Canon of Christ Church Cathedral
The Rector of St Mary’s Parish, Howth, Canon Kevin Brew was installed as the Twelfth Canon of the Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, yesterday, Sunday May 14. The installation took place during a service of Choral Evensong at which the Precentor, Canon Neil McEndoo presided.
A large congregation of family, friends and parishioners joined Kevin in the cathedral for the service during which he made his declarations, signed the Chapter Roll and received his stall. Also present were a number of his clerical colleagues from Dublin & Glendalough.
