St Macartan’s Cathedral Restoration Special Diocesan Collection:

Taking over 30 years to build and completed in 1892 in a time of economic and social depravation, our ancestors created a beautiful sacred space – St. Macartan’s, Cathedral.

A special second collection will take place in our parish on 15 and 16 November 2025. All contributions are welcome, with more details to follow in the coming weeks.
