Installation of the 10th Bishop of Hamilton
The Installation of His Excellency, Bishop Joseph Dabrowski, as the 10th Bishop of Hamilton will take place on Monday, February 2, at 11:00 a.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King in Hamilton.
This is an invitation-only liturgical celebration. For those unable to attend in person, the Mass will be livestreamed (link to come), allowing the wider diocesan community to participate prayerfully from home.
We invite the faithful of the Diocese to keep our new Bishop in prayer as he begins his episcopal ministry among us, asking that he be warmly welcomed and supported in this new chapter of service.
A few weeks following the Installation, Bishop Dabrowski will celebrate Mass with the diocesan community on the First Sunday of Lent.
Further details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Sunday of the Word of God: “The word of Christ dwells among you” (Col 3:16)
The Third Sunday of Ordinary Time marks the celebration of Bible Sunday in the Diocese of Hamilton. At the conclusion of the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis encouraged every Christian community to choose one Sunday a year to renew its efforts to make the Sacred Scriptures better known and widely diffused. Our celebration of Bible Sunday is a call to listen to how #TheBibleSpeaks in our hearts and within our communities of faith. This is the seventh annual celebration of this special day in the life of the Catholic Church. The Pastoral Offices of the Diocese of Hamilton have prepared a wide variety of resources for your celebration of Bible Sunday 2026.
