Life
Born in Southport on 11 June 1908, he was ordained on 18 June 1933 as a priest for the Archdiocese of Liverpool. He was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Portsmouth and Titular Bishop of Etenna on 31 October 1960. His consecration to the Episcopate took place on 21 December 1960 at St John's Cathedral in Portsmouth; the principal consecrator was Archbishop John King of Portsmouth, and the principal co-consecrators were Bishop George Dwyer of Leeds (later Archbishop of Birmingham) and Bishop John Healy of Gibraltar.[1] He participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, held between 1962 and 1965. On 16 October 1963, Holland became the first bishop to call from the Council floor for what would later be established as the Synod of Bishops.[2]
