Video message from Black Santa’s little helpers!

Belfast Cathedral is counting the days until the start of the 41st Black Santa Sit–out, and has produced a video to ensure everyone knows the charity appeal is going ahead as usual despite missing a Dean.

Starring Dean’s Vicar Canon Mark Niblock and Cathedral Sexton Mark Geddis, with a special guest appearance by Dean–Elect the Ven Stephen Forde, the video could prove to be the next Christmas blockbuster!

The film can be viewed below and on the Belfast Cathedral Facebook and Twitter pages. Canon Niblock and Black Santa’s other little helpers appeal to you to please share this and help them raise vital funds for charities who do so much for individuals and communities in Belfast and beyond.

The 2017 Sit–out begins on Monday December 18 and will end around tea time on December 23 as Christmas Eve this year falls on a Sunday. Donations can be made on the steps of the Cathedral during the course of the Sit–out, by post, or online at www.belfastcathedral.org.

Canons of the Cathedral and other staff, dressed in the usual black attire, look forward to greeting everyone on the Cathedral steps each day from Monday December 18, whatever the weather!
