St Patrick's Belfast

St Patrick’s mentioned in a luminous poem by Chris Agee in today’s Irish Times @IrishTimes @irishpages @Cqaf

A moving ceremony today by His Holiness Pope Leo @Pontifex at the Vatican, recognising English Saint John Henry Newman as a Doctor of the Church. As the world feels increasingly divided, he reminds us that renewal comes from engaging with our differences, not rejecting them.

Today marks one year since the passing of Archbishop Noël Treanor, Apostolic Nuncio to the EU, whose dedication of EU’s fundamental values of peace and solidarity we still remember today.

On Friday 25 July, from 6-7pm, @ulsterconsort and I celebrate the 500th anniversary of Palestrina. Also featured is the famous Allegri ‘Miserere’, all in in the beautiful surroundings of St Patrick’s Ch, Belfast @stpatricks200. Tickets at the door, or via: eventbrite.co.uk/e/glories-of-t…

Still no response from @britishairways six months from claim to @britishairways for taxi fare from Dublin to Belfast following flight cancellations, delays, late arrival in almost deserted airport. Unable to take bus because wheelchair passenger. Disgraceful customer service.

Proud to celebrate our artists this #WorldArtDay 🖼️✨ @UlsterUni @stpatricks200

Thank On #worldartday reflections on the many fine artists this city and its School of Art @UlsterUni has produced, and of the wonderful Triptych 'The Madonna of The Lakes', gifted by Sir John Lavery to his home parish church @stpatricks200 A true treasure of the city.

Via midcentury popular historical novelists, The Golden Bough probably had a greater influence on the imaginative world of British middle-to-upper-normies 1940-1970 than the Bible or the classics, but has been completely memoryholed

Christians continue to be the most persecuted religious group in the world. Tomorrow is #AshWednesday - this #Lent we highlight their heroic witness of faith in the midst of suffering. #lent2025
