The Reverend Canon Dr Ian Jorysz, currently Senior Chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester, has been appointed Canon Precentor at Manchester Cathedral.
Canon Jorysz has served as the Bishop of Manchester’s Chaplain since 2015 and already holds a position as Honorary Canon at Manchester Cathedral.
He said: “I came to Manchester Diocese in 2015 as Senior Chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester, having previously been an incumbent in Essex.
“The Cathedral’s ministry has always impressed me as it serves the Bishop, Diocese and City in so many different and imaginative ways. It has been my privilege to have been an Honorary Canon during this period, being able to contribute in a small way to its ministry.
“Now I am hugely looking forward to playing a greater role as Precentor, both supporting the Cathedral in its busy round of services and also in its wider mission to be a place where Christ’s love is made manifest.”
In his role as Canon Precentor, Canon Jorysz will help to shape the daily, weekly and special liturgies for our diverse congregation and city, working alongside our small but committed clergy team and world-renowned music department.
He will begin his role as Canon Precentor in April 2024.
His licence date will be 24th April 2024.
