Tiny cast touring with A Life of Holiness? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanctity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holiness?' is the definition.
(I know that holiness can be written as sanctity)

'tiny cast touring' is the wordplay.
'touring' is an anagram indicator (touring can mean moving around).
'tiny'+'cast'='tinycast'
'tinycast' anagrammed gives 'SANCTITY'.

'with a life of' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sanctity that I've seen before include "Devotion" , "Holy or sacred state" , "Great goodness" , "Holiness, sacredness" , "Condition of holiness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
