On Friday 8 March, the Cathedral parish, invited guests from the diocese and the Darwin community and had a wonderful Christ Church party to farewell the 7th Dean of Darwin, who had been elected Bishop of Northern Queensland and was leaving Darwin the following week. At the 9:00 am Eucharist on Sunday 10 March, Fr Keith preached his last sermon as Dean of Darwin and handed back the Symbols of the Pastoral Office which he had been entrusted with at his investiture in November 2013. We sent him on his way with love and gratitude, knowing that he will be visiting Darwin again in the near future and thank God for his tremendous ministry in Darwin.

 

The Very Reverend Dr Keith Joseph has been elected as the 11th Bishop of North Queensland, to succeed the Right Reverend Bill Ray, who retired in September 2018. More details will follow.

Recently the Dean, the Very Reverend Dr Keith Joseph, was made an Officer of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem - known for short as the Order of St. John. As a Royal Order of Chivalry, it forms part of the Australian Honours System. Fr Keith commented that he was surprised and honoured by the award, but also saw it as reflecting the strong and ongoing links between the Cathedral and the Order. He hoped that this relationship would continue for many years to come.
