Broadcast from Down Cathedral

On Sunday 13 March, a Service of the Word anticipating St Patrick’s Day will be broadcast from Down Cathedral on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Ulster. The preacher will be the Very Revd Henry Hull, Dean of Down. 

As well as looking forward to St Patrick’s Day on Thursday 17 March, the service will focus on the BBC’s Sunday Worship theme of hospitality and will feature the story of Madlug, a ‘buy one, give one’ social enterprise supporting young people in care, started by Dave Linton who is a former Youth Worker in the diocese. 

Some of the prayer resources for Ukraine recently published by the Church of Ireland will be used.

Speaking about the service, Dean Hull said: ‘It is always a privilege to welcome people to worship with us through these broadcast services when we have the opportunity.  I am particularly looking forward to welcoming worshippers from across the UK and beyond as we consider and celebrate the legacy of Patrick.’

You can listen to the service on Sunday 13 March at 8.10 am on BBC Radio 4 and at 10.15 am on BBC Radio Ulster.
