The "Visitation" will begin in the Autumn

Some good news! On the Feast of the Visitation, our Apostolic Visitors have been announced! The Visitation will begin, in the Autumn, in the four Metropolitan Archdioceses of Ireland (Armagh, Dublin, Cashel and Emly, and Tuam) and will then be extended to some other dioceses.

The Visitors for the Four Archdioceses

Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor
Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley
Archbishop Thomas Christopher Collins

Archbishop Terrence Thomas Prendergast

The Visitors named by the Holy Father for the dioceses are: His Eminence Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Emeritus Archbishop of Westminster, for the Archdiocese of Armagh; His Eminence Cardinal Sean Patrick O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston, for the Archdiocese of Dublin; the Most Reverend Thomas Christopher Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, for the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly; the Most Reverend Terrence Thomas Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa, for the Archdiocese of Tuam.

Archbishop Timothy Dolan, Seminary Visitation

The Congregation for Catholic Education will coordinate the visitation of the Irish seminaries, including the Pontifical Irish College in Rome. While special attention will be given to the matters that occasioned the Apostolic Visitation, in the case of the seminaries it will cover all aspects of priestly formation. The Most Reverend Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, has been named Apostolic Visitor.

My first reaction, this looks good (Tim Dolan), very good.
