We were delighted to welcome Portugal’s Minister of State and Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel, to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral today during his recent visit to Ireland.

Minister Rangel was welcomed by Cathedral Manager Louis Parminter and was accompanied by the Portuguese Ambassador to Ireland, João Pedro Fins do Lago, along with members of the Embassy team.

The visit took place ahead of the EU Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Wicklow on 1 and 2 September.

A lovely photo of the choir of St Anne's Manchester who came to perform at the Cathedral. It is always wonderful to have such talented choirs come to visit us at Saint Patrick's.

Have you ever listened to A hymn for Christ by Imogen Holst?

This setting of two verses from John Donne’s poem, is the work of the 20th-century English Composer.

The poem talks about leaving your homeland and going toward the unknown in a long journey. The first verse even compares this departure by ship with the Ark from the Bible.

There is a duality in the melody made by Holst that is reassuring and at the same time anxious, which seems to match with the mixed feelings of a departure.

The beauty of this piece is that whatever journey or adventure we are embarking on, we trust in God’s protection and blessings through times of uncertainty.

This piece will be sung by the choir of Saint Ann’s Church, Manchester, today at our Choral Eucharist 11.15am at the Cathedral and you are welcome!

You can also watch live on our youtube channel.

“Once, only once and once for all”, refers to the one sacrifice that lasts forever in our beliefs and worship…

Hymn 304 tells about Christ's love for us revealed in the giving of his own life and how this act is renewed through Eucharist through which we remember and honour His sacrifice.

Today, at Choral Eucharist at 11.15am the Congregation will sing this Hymn, and our Preacher, Canon P. Thompson, preaches at this celebration.

We are invited to come to receive holy communion to receive food for our Christian journey, to show that we trust in Jesus, and our dependence on him.

Join us to worship and find peace at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral or you can watch live on our Youtube channel.

Why do you pray?

If it is on our wakening or when the darkness comes in, we pray to God every single day…

During the uncertain and worrying times, throughout our days, weeks and months, our prayers restore our lives and give strength to face our challenges.

From mercy and forgiveness to even the simplest trivial tasks, we pray to connect our faith to God and He always reminds us to trust in His will and everything is going to be ok.

Even more than that, we pray to thank God for all of his kindness and mercy.

Hymn 238 tells us about: the beauty and the importance of praying.

At Choral Eucharist, at 11.15am, with our Preacher Canon J. E. Yendall, Prebendary of Mulhuddart you can learn more about this Hymn.

All are welcome at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral or you can watch live on our Youtube channel. Eucharist | The Eleventh Sunday after Trinity
