The South African cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and Archbishop of Durban will visit the Island in November.
Cardinal Napier will host a mass for the public on the 27th at St. Mary of the Isle Church in Douglas.
He is the first senior Roman Catholic to visit the Island for some time.
Paul Davis has organised the visit - something he says is a milestone:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
