St Patrick’s Day services still going ahead

As worship gatherings are still taking place around the country we are planning to go ahead with our St Patrick’s Day services at Saul Church and Down Cathedral. 

This year’s theme, Your Kingdom Come, has prayer for Ireland at the centre and we want to grasp this opportunity to worship and pray together for our land in these uncertain times. This will include the pilgrimage walk from Saul to Down Cathedral.

Please join us if you can.
