Denis Nulty was born in Slane, County Meath on 7 June 1963 to parents Den Nulty and Nan Balfe. He is the youngest of five children, with two brothers and two sisters. The family farm was the home where Denis and his siblings were reared. He attended Primary School at Saint Patrick’s National School, Slane and Secondary School at Saint Patrick’s Classical School, Navan, completing the Leaving Certificate exam in 1981.

Denis entered the seminary at Saint Patrick’s College, Maynooth in September 1981, completing a BA in 1984 and a BD in 1987. He was ordained a Priest for

the Diocese of Meath in Saint Patrick’s Church, Slane on 12 June 1988 by Bishop Michael Smith in the presence of Bishop John McCormack.

In September 1988 Bishop Smith appointed Father Denis as Curate in the Cathedral Parish at Mullingar where he served for ten years until 1998. In August 1998 Bishop Smith appointed Father Denis as Parish Priest of Saint Mary’s, Drogheda where he remained up until his Episcopal appointment to Kildare & Leighlin.

In 2006 Father Denis followed a course of study in All Hallows College, Dublin, leading to an MA in Management for the Pastoral and Voluntary Services being awarded by DCU.

In September 2006 Bishop Smith appointed Father Denis as Vicar Forane for the Duleek Deanery which comprises seven parishes. Father Denis has been Chairperson of the Council of Priests in the Diocese of Meath for the past eight years.

Very Rev Denis NultyEpiscopal Crest and Motto

The Episcopal coat of arms chosen by Father Nulty is in the standard form of cross, shield and galero. The galero is traditionally the broad brimmed hat and tassels which signify the user’s place in the hierarchy.

At the base of the shield is a Vert (green) hill with a fire on top. Father Denis is a native of Slane in County Meath, a place well known for the lighting of the Paschal Fire by Saint Patrick on the hill at Easter.

Above the hill is an Azure ground. Having been born and raised close to the Boyne at Slane and having served as Parish Priest in Drogheda along the mouth of the Boyne, it is hardly surprising that rivers would feature here on the shield.

Father Denis in recalling the origins of the faith in Ireland on Slane, wanted also to include the other great symbol of the faith in Ireland with the Cross of Saint Brigid of Kildare in Or (gold) on the left side.

On the right side of the shield is a Silver Fleur-de-Lys. As an ancient Christian symbol it represents purity, and therefore in turn the Virgin Mary.

The colours in the shield signify the virtues and gifts that Father Denis hopes for himself in his Episcopal ministry and virtues he will endeavour to spread to all in his pastoral care.

Silver / White – Argent: Signifies truth, sincerity, peace, innocence and purity.Gold – Or: Signifies wisdom, generosity, glory, constancy and faith.Green – Vert: Signifies abundance, joy, hope and loyalty in love.Blue – Azure: Signifies loyalty, chastity, truth, strength and faith. His Episcopal motto - ‘Serve the Lord with Gladness’ is taken from Psalm 100.

Diocese of Kildare & LeighlinThe originally independent dioceses of Kildare and Leighlin were united in 1678 on the recommendation of the Primate Oliver Plunkett. Kildare took its origin from the monastic settlement established by St. Brigid in the fifth century. Conleth of Old Connell was its first Bishop, appointed about 490. Their respective feast days are celebrated on 1st February and 4th May. Laserian is regarded as founder and patron of Leighlin. He was instrumental in having the Irish Church adopt the Roman method of calculating the date of Easter. He died about 639 and his feast day is celebrated on 18th April.

Carlow CathedralThe foundation stone for the Cathedral of the Assumption, Carlow was laidby Bishop James Doyle (J.K.L.) on March 18th 1828. It was completed in1833 at a cost of £9,000. Designed by Thomas Cobden, the Cathedral is ahandsome mixture of the gothic revival styles and has a tower of 151ft. In 1837 John Hogan won the commission for the memorial to Bishop Doyle. The work was finished in Rome in 1839. It was brought to Ireland and exhibited in the Royal Exchange in Dublin before it was placed in the Cathedral. Following a programme of refurbishment conducted under architectRichard Pierce, the Cathedral was rededicated on June 22nd 1997 in aceremony performed by Bishop Laurence Ryan. In 2010 a major restoration of the Cathedral organ with its 2,300 pipes was completed. The frame was completely rebuilt with American poplar, while the organ case itself has been lovingly crafted out of European oak. The front pipes of the organ are gilded in gold leaf, the internals totally restored and only glues and materials that would have been used in the 1800’s were employed.

An overview of the Rite of OrdinationThis is a joyful day in the life of the Church of Kildare and Leighlin. We gather as a diocese, united with the universal Church, to celebrate the ordination of our new bishop. We pray and rejoice that the Spirit of God will be given in abundance to Very Rev. Denis Nulty.

Preparatory actionsIn this rite we encounter some of the most ancient words and actions of the Church. It begins with a number of what can be called preparatory actions, including the Presentation of the Candidate on behalf of the Church in Kildare and Leighlin for ordination as Bishop, the Reading of the Apostolic Letter, the official document from Pope Francis mandating this ordination, and the Consent of the People.

The Homily is followed by an Examination of the Candidate during which he is questioned on his resolve to uphold the Church’s faith and to discharge the duties of bishop faithfully. Having prayed for the bishop elect the congregation then joins their prayer for him with those of the Saints in heaven as the Litany of the Saints is sung.

Laying on of Hands and Prayer of ConsecrationWe now come to the heart of the Rite of Ordination: the Laying on of Hands and the Prayer of Consecration. These ancient words and gesture came to signify the giving of an office in the Church. The laying on of hands expresses the invocation, conferral and action of the Holy Spirit upon Denis Nulty. Through it he is empowered to teach, sanctify and exercise pastoral governance in the Church. All the bishops participate in this action to signify his reception into the college of bishops, while the people keep a prayerful silence. Then an open book of the Gospels is placed upon the head of Denis Nulty until the prayer of consecration is completed. The core elements of the ordination have been celebrated.

AnointingThere now follows a series of what can be called explanatory gestures and actions that go towards explaining what has just happened. It begins with an anointing of Bishop Denis. Bishop Denis was first anointed in baptism and, appropriately, the Holy Chrism to be used is brought to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin by a member of a parish baptism team. The pouring of this Holy Chrism upon Bishop Denis symbolises his particular participation in the high priesthood of Christ and his anointing today in the Holy Spirit.

Book of the GospelsBishop Denis is then presented with the Book of the Gospels. As bishop, he is to break open the word of God, to announce Christ with courage, and to defend the faith against error. Bishop Denis also has the task of reaching out with God’s Word to people who do not believe in Christ.

Investiture with Ring, Mitre and CrozierThe Investiture with Ring, Mitre and Crozier follows. These are symbols of a bishop’s ministry. The ring symbolises the bishop’s nuptial bond with the Church. The mitre signifies the Church’s commission to pursue holiness while the crozier illustrates the pastoral ministry of bishop as ‘shepherd of the flock’. They are brought forward by Bishop Jim Moriarty and members of Bishop Denis’ family.

Seating of the bishopIt is now that our new bishop takes his place in the Cathedral with the Seating of the Bishop on the Cathedra. This is one of the many special moments of this liturgy; for this is the seat of Bishop Denis’ episcopal ministry. It is the sign of his teaching office and pastoral authority in the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin. The presence of the cathedra in the Cathedral of the Assumption designates this church as the mother church for the Church in Kildare and Leighlin.

Kiss of PeaceAt the cathedra Bishop Denis receives the Kiss of Peace from the members of the college of bishops. This gesture visibly demonstrates his communion with them as brother bishops and, in turn, the communion of the Church of Kildare and Leighlin with the universal Church.

GreetingMonsignor Brendan Byrne, who has served as Diocesan Administrator, will then bring Bishop Denis forward for a Greeting of Representatives of the people and organisations of the diocese as well as representatives of other Christian Churches and civil authorities. After which Bishop Denis leads the assembly in the Profession of Faith and presides over the concelebration of the Eucharistic liturgy.

Call to Prayer

Seating of people and clergyOur opening procession is led by the banners of the parishes of the diocese. Since the Jubilee Year these parish banners have been used in all our diocesan celebrations.

Two bowls of flames lit from the flame of Kildare and the flame of Slane accompany the processional cross. Many of us who gather today in this Cathedral have come from the Diocese of Meath as well as the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin. All of us follow in the footsteps of Saints Patrick and Brigid. Together we entrust the flame of faith to our generation to nurture and pass on.

Rite for the Blessing and Sprinkling of WaterDear brothers and sisters, let us humbly beseech the Lord our God to bless this water he has created, which will be sprinkled on us as a memorial of our Baptism. May he help us by his grace to remain faithful to the Spirit we have received.

A brief pause

Almighty ever-living God, who willed that through water, the fountain of life and the source of purification, even souls should be cleansed and receive the gift of eternal life; be pleased, we pray, to bless this water, by which we seek protection on this your day, O Lord. Renew the living spring of your grace within us and grant that by this water we may be defended from all ills of spirit and body,and so approach you with hearts made clean and worthily receive your salvation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Come to the WatersCome to the waters, Come to the waters.

Come to the waters, flowing, clear,Fount where new life abounds.Live by the Spirit; do not fear.God is here; love surrounds.

Come to the waters, Come to the waters.

May almighty God cleanse us of our sins, and through the celebration of this Eucharist make us worthy to share at the table of his Kingdom. Amen.

First Reading A reading from the book of EcclesiastesVanity of vanities, the Preacher says. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity! For so it is that a man who has laboured wisely, skilfully and successfully must leave what is his own to someone who has not toiled for it at all. This, too, is vanity and great injustice; for what does he gain for all the toil and strain that he has undergone under the sun? What of all his laborious days, his cares of office, his restless nights? This, too, is vanity.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

LITURGY OF THE WORD Second Reading A reading from the letter of St Paul to the ColossiansSince you have been brought back to true life with Christ, you must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed – and he is your life – you too will be revealed in all your glory with him.

That is why you must kill everything in you that belongs only to earthly life: fornication, impurity, guilty passion, evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god; and never tell each other lies. You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image of its creator; and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcised or the uncircumcised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free man. There is only Christ: he is everything and he is in everything.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

16 17

Gospel A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke. A man in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance.’ ‘My friend,’ he replied ‘who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?’ Then he said to them, ‘Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for a man’s life is not made secure by what he owns, even when he has more than he needs.’

Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer of ConsecrationArchbishop DiarmuidGod the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,Father of mercies and God of all consolation, you dwell in heaven, yet look with compassion on all that is humble.You know all things before they come to be; by your gracious word you have established the plan of your Church.

From the beginning you chose the descendants of Abraham to be your holy nation.You established rulers and priests, and did not leave your sanctuary without ministers to serve you.From the creation of the world you have been pleased to be glorified by those whom you have chosen.

All consecrating bishops, with hands joined, say:

So now pour out upon this chosen one that power which is from you, the governing Spirit whom you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Spirit given by him to the holy apostles, who founded the Church in every place to be your temple for the unceasing glory and praise of your name.

Archbishop Diarmuid continues alone:Father, you know all hearts.You have chosen your servant for the office of bishop.May he be a shepherd to your holy flock, and a high priest blameless in your sight, ministering to you night and day; may he always gain the blessing of your favour and offer the gifts of your holy Church.Through the Spirit who gives the grace of high priesthood grant him the power to forgive sins as you have commanded, to assign ministries as you have decreed, and to loose every bond by the authority which you gave to your apostles.

May he be pleasing to you by his gentleness and purity of heart, presenting a fragrant offering to you, through Jesus Christ, your Son, through whom glory and power and honour are yours with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, now and for ever. R: Amen.

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have createdrightly gives you praise,for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,you give life to all things and make them holy,and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,so that from the rising of the sun to its settinga pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holythese gifts we have brought to you for consecrationthat they may become the Body and & Bloodof your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,FOR THIS IS MY BODY,WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son,his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgivingthis holy and living sacrifice.

Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Churchand, recognizing the sacrificial Victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself,grant that we, who are nourishedby the Body and Blood of your Sonand filled with his Holy Spirit,may become one body, one spirit in Christ.

The Mystery of Faith

In a similar way, when supper was ended,he took the chalice, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

28 29

May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect, especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with your blessed Apostles and glorious MartyrsSt Brigid, St Joseph, St John Vianney and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help.

May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world.Be pleased to confirm in faith and charityyour pilgrim Church on earth, with your servant Francis our Pope and your servant Denis,who has been ordained today as shepherd for the Church of Kildare and Leighlin, with the Order of Bishops, all the clergy,and the entire people you have gained for your own.

Listen graciously to the prayers of this familywhom you have summoned before you:In your compassion, O merciful Father,gather to yourself all your childrenscattered throughout the world.

To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing to you at their passing from this life, give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness of your glory through Christ our Lord, through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

Behold the Lamb of God,behold him who takes away the sins of the world.Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

CONCLUDING RITES

Hymn of Thanksgiving and Blessing

Bishop Denis, offering God’s blessing to all, is led by the consecrating bishops through the cathedral.

Alleluia: Song of the Spirit Tony Alonso

Address by Bishop Denis Sit

Solemn Blessing O God, who care for your people with gentlenessand rule them in love,endow with the Spirit of wisdomthose to whom you have handed on authority to govern,that from the flourishing of a holy flockmay come eternal joy for its shepherds.

As in your majestic poweryou allot the number of our daysand the measure of our years,look favourably upon our humble serviceand confer on our time the abundance of your peace.

Give a happy outcome to the tasksthat through your grace you have laid upon me,whom you have raised to the rank of Bishop;make me pleasing to you in the fulfilment of my duties,and so guide the hearts of people and pastor,that the obedience of the flock may never fail the shepherdnor the care of the shepherd be lacking for the flock.

And may almighty God bless all of you, who are gathered here,the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Deacon:Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.

Recessional How Great thou art

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder,Consider all the works Thy hands hath made.I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Chorus:Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art! How great Thou art!Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to TheeHow great Thou art! How great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander,And hear the birds swing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountains grandeur, And see the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

And when I think: that God, His Son not sparing.Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing.He bled and died, to take away my Sin:

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!Then I shall bow in humble adoration,And there proclaim; “my God, how great Thou art”

Carlow CollegeCarlow College, which is providing hospitality for guests at today’s ordination of Bishop Nulty, is Ireland’s oldest Catholic college.

It was founded in 1782 by Bishop James Keeffe and opened in 1793. Bishop Nulty is the 15th bishop in succession to its founder. Bishops of Kildare and Leighlin are ex officio chairmen of the Board of Trustees of the college.

From the beginning Carlow College was both a lay college and a seminary. In 1892 with the rise of the universities it became a seminary exclusively, but one hundred years later in 1990, it reclaimed its original role and once again welcomed lay students, this time both male and female, from all over Ireland. Today it attracts almost 800 students to take its degree courses in humanities and social care.

The college has strategic partnerships with Trinity College, Dublin, St. Ambrose University, Davenport, Iowa, Carlow University Pittsburgh and with 37 colleges of the Illinois Consortium. Each year American students are welcomed to the college to undertake an Irish Experience Course.

Since its foundation 3200 priests have been ordained at Carlow for service all over the English speaking world, in 101 dioceses in the US, in Australia and New Zealand, in England, Scotland and Wales and in Ireland. 33 of the priests serving in the parishes of Kildare and Leighlin were ordained in Carlow College.

Everyone is now invited to Carlow College (St. Patrick’s) for refreshments.

Prayer for our Diocese of Kildare and LeighlinLord, bless the faith community which traces its origins to Brigid, Conleth and Laserian.May it be outstanding in charity as St. Brigid of Kildare,May it be constant in faith as St. Conleth of Old Connell,Wise and prayerful as St. Laserian of Leighlin.

Bless its Bishop, Priests, Religious and Laity.Fill them with the light of your love,Bless its young people.Help all who are poor or weak or wounded by life’s hurts.Grant them justice, light and hope.

Sin é ár nguí tré Críost ár dTiarna, Amen
