CONCERTS IN THE CATHEDRAL – TICKETS FOR SALE AFTER ALL MASSES
As you know, we will have two fantastic concerts in the Cathedral this spring. On Friday 6th March the wildly popular Scottish Duo “Phil and Ally” will be singing in the Cathedral and on Saturday 7th our own beloved Barbara Dickson will be performing. Both concerts begin at 7.30pm & the doors open at 7pm. The performers are giving their time free to help the Cathedral and all profits from these events will go to the improvement, maintenance and preservation of our beloved Cathedral. Please do invite your family members and friends to come along for this very special occasion. Tickets (£25/each) can be purchased after all Masses this and next weekend (we can take cash and credit/debit cards), at Eventbrite and through the Parish Office. Thank you for your generosity and kind support!
‘Edinburgh’s Three Cathedrals’ Parish Talk on the 23rd of March
In early 1878 there were no cathedrals in Edinburgh. Within just five years there were three: St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral, St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral and St Giles' Cathedral. What prompted this? Was it an upsurge of religiosity in the city or was it something else? David Todd, Lay Reader at Old Saint Paul’s Scottish Episcopal Church and Theatre Chaplain to Edinburgh’s four major theatres explains in an illustrated talk in the Cathedral Café on Monday the 23rd of March at 7.30pm. All are welcome!
