The new Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, the Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon is making his first visit to the Isle of Man today.
It's a brief, mainly private visit for Archbishop Malcolm to meet local Catholic clergy.
The Archbishop has just one public duty - this evening he will confirm young people in the south of the Island at a special service in St Columba's church in Port Erin.
Today's visit is being hosted by Canon Philip Gillespie from St Mary's in Douglas.
Archbishop Malcolm was installed at a mass in Liverpool Cathedral in May, succeeding Archbishop Patrick Kelly who stepped down in January 2013.
It's understood he will return for a longer visit to meet Island Roman Catholics in the near future.
His archdiocese covers Liverpool, parts of Greater Manchester, south west Lancashire and the Isle of Man.
