The Anglican priest Geoffrey Hylton Jarrett converted to the Catholic Church in 1965.[1] He was ordained a priest in Sydney on 14 May 1970 by the Archbishop of Hobart, Guilford Clyde Young.

Pope John Paul II appointed him coadjutor bishop of Lismore on 9 December 2000. His episcopal consecration was performed by the Archbishop of Sydney, Edward Bede Cardinal Clancy, on 22 February 2001 in St. Carthage's Cathedral, Lismore; his co-consecrators were Francesco Canalini, Apostolic Nuncio in Australia and John Satterthwaite, Bishop of Lismore.
