The installation Mass was concelebrated by past and present bishops from the Adelaide Province, including Adelaide Archbishop Patrick O’Regan and Emeritus Bishop Greg O’Kelly SJ who opened the Cathedral door to his successor.
A number of clergy from the Adelaide Archdiocese, several Salvatorian priests and local community and religious leaders also attended the installation while many more from around Australia and overseas watched the live stream of the celebration.
In his message of thanks at the end of the Mass, Bishop Karol said “I come to you as an unknown person, from an unknown country –Poland, an unknown religious Order – Salvatorians”.
“I have been called to serve you the people of Port Pirie Diocese that I pledge to fulfil with God’s help,” he said.
