He was appointed the Coadjutor Vicar Apostolic of Highland District and Titular Bishop of Diocaesarea in Palaestina by the Holy See on 11 May 1804. He was consecrated to the Episcopate at the Lismore Seminary on 15 September 1805. The principal consecrator was Bishop Alexander Cameron, Vicar Apostolic of the Lowland District.
