Update on Belfast Cathedral 'Black Santa' Sit-out
Comment on the Sitout for Charity from the Dean of Belfast
The Christmas Sitout has continued despite atrocious conditions but we have ensured that the canons at the barrel have been brought inside every half hour to be thawed out before re-freezing!
Folk have come despite the weather but not as many as in other years and many of the schools which support us each year have been closed. So far we have received over £130,000 up to Monday 20th.
We will continue to be at the barrel in front of the Cathedral until Christmas Eve and after that the barrel will be available in the cathedral until the end of January. We don’t want anyone to be taking undue risks to come and see us in these conditions.
