Geoffrey Hylton Jarrett (born 1 December 1937) is a retired Australian Roman Catholic bishop who was bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lismore.

Formerly an Anglican priest, 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 presided by the Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal Edward Clancy, on 22 February 2001 at St Carthage's Cathedral, Lismore; his co-consecrators were Francesco Canalini (apostolic nuncio in Australia) and John Satterthwaite (Bishop of Lismore). He chose Supra firmam petram as his motto.

After John Satterthwaite's resignation, he succeeded him on 1 December 2001 as Bishop of Lismore and was installed on 12 December.

Pope Francis accepted his age-related resignation on 20 December 2016. [2]

He was succeeded by Greg Homeming on 22 February 2017. [3] [4]
