• Annual Service for the distribution of the Cathedral sit out for Charities Fund

  The Annual "Good Samaritan" Service at which cheques will be distributed to more than 200 charities is to take place at 3.30 p.m. on Sunday 5th February. The service recognises the generosity of the general public in raising a large sum of money through the "black santa" sit out just prior to Christmas 2011, as well as acknowledging the huge amount of charity work undertaken within local communities in Northern Ireland, giving thanks for the voluntary work of thousands of people, who seek no recognition, willingly offering help to others.
