Message from the Dean:

Welcome to the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity – known as Down Cathedral – close to which we believe the mortal remains of Saint Patrick lie buried.

Down Cathedral is not merely a tourist attraction for people interested in Patrick – it’s a place of pilgrimage, prayer and welcome for everyone. As well as being a historical site and popular place to visit, it is primarily a Christian place of prayer and worship.

Here you will find information about services and events in Down Cathedral, a little about our history and ongoing ministry today.

Please do send us a prayer request, or better yet join us for a service and become a member of our congregation – we look forward to welcoming you.

Dean Henry Blair with his wife, Helen
