‘Thinking on our feet’ this St Patrick’s Day (Down & Dromore)
Diocesan Communications Officer, Down & Dromore
In keeping with the theme, ‘Walking in Simplicity’ The Bishop of Down and Dromore, The Rt Revd Harold Miller, is inviting everyone who comes on 17 March to donate a spare pair of shoes in good condition. Where possible these will go straight onto the feet of someone in need but at the very least will be recycled and the proceeds given to charity.
St Patrick’s Day is also the suggested date for the beginning of the ‘WEAR IT OUT’ clothing fast, which will raise awareness of the big issues around consumerism, fashion, beauty, lifestyle and social justice. At the end of the fast many young people will receive a special pair of TOMS shoes, and TOMS in turn will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need.
We’re delighted to welcome Pete Greig, founder of the 24–7 Prayer movement and Director of Prayer at Holy Trinity Brompton, as our special guest, both in the Cathedral and at the Service of Holy Communion at Saul.
The pilgrimage from Saul to the Cathedral will be led by Revd Chris Bennett, Chaplain to the Titanic Quarter and you are warmly welcomed to walk with us before the Festival Service.
