Congratulations to Newly Installed Canon Peter Hopkinson
Wednesday 4th February 2026This afternoon, Bishop John installed a new member of the Salford Cathedral Chapter during a service at the Cathedral’s temporary church. Our most heartfelt congratulations go out to Rev Canon Peter Hopkinson, Vicar General and parish priest for St Joseph in Ramsbottom, on this wonderful occasion.
The Salford Cathedral Chapter was erected on 24th June 1852, and is made up of eleven priests, who act as a consultative body for the Bishop and assist him in the governance of the Diocese. In addition, their specific role in the Cathedral is to pray, through the Divine Liturgy of the Church, for the Bishop, priests and people of the diocese.
We pray that God gives our new canon the strength to fulfil his important mission in the Diocese of Salford.
