Tummas Lykke Kannuberg will take office as priest of the Hvalvík parish in the Faroe Islands on 1 August, Faroese broadcaster KVF reported Monday.

Since June 2024, Kannuberg has worked as a temporary assistant priest in the Nes deanery under the archdeacon. He previously served as parish priest in Sparkær-Gammelstrup and Stoholm, Denmark, from his ordination until May 2024, with a brief interim role in the Sjóvar deanery earlier that year. His recent duties have included leading services in smaller congregations of under 400 members.
