Of course Dr. Mageean was consecrated in St. Patrick's Pro-Cathedral which until relatively recently (c.1986) was the preferred location for significant episcopal activity in the diocese. So June 29th 2008 will be the first time a priest has been raised to the full episcopate in St. Peter's Cathedral.
