Welcome to Dromore Cathedral
Dromore Cathedral has been at the heart of Dromore for centuries. We serve the community of Dromore by bringing Christ’s compassion, love and hope of salvation to people of all ages.
Just as relevant as ever, we believe Christ and his radical teaching to be the only solution to the problems of our country, town and selves. We invite you to join us on our journey as we discover how to be everything he called us to be.

Ordination of Rev Elaine Pentland and Rev Andrew Orr
Very sincere congratulations to the Rev Elaine Pentland, and the Rev Andrew Orr on the occasion of their ordination to the order of deacon on Sunday 22nd August in our Cathedral. Elaine will serve as a deacon in Willowfield Parish and Andrew will serve his year as deacon in St John’s Parish, Orangefield.
The last service of ordination in our Cathedral was that of Rev Gary McMurray back in 2008, so it was wonderful to be able to host this very special service once more, at the request of our Bishop, the Rt Rev David McClay. We look forward to our Cathedral be asked to host similar significant Diocesan services in the years to come.

When we confirm something we say yes.
At confirmation we say yes to Jesus’ call to follow him on our journey through life.
We confirm our faith in him. Parents and godparents will usually have said yes for us when we were babies and were unable to speak for ourselves at baptism, but confirmation gives us the chance to say yes.
We have all had the experience of getting lost I’m sure. This can happen because we have either no map or in the world we live today, our Sat Nav isn’t working properly! Confirming our faith in Jesus is like deciding to travel through life with a really accurate map or effective Sat Nav.
If you would like to say yes to Jesus through confirmation, there will be an opportunity to do so on the afternoon of Sunday 18th September 2022 in the Cathedral. As a rule of thumb, candidates need to be of an age that they understand clearly what it is they are saying yes to, generally from age 14 and above, though there are individuals who clearly understand at a younger age. Confirmation isn’t just limited to young people, as adults who have not yet been confirmed can choose to be confirmed in their faith, often at a much later stage in life.
If you would like to find out more about what is involved in being prepared for confirmation this September and whether it is right for you, then please do let Geoff know in order that adequate time is set aside for preparation for what should be a very special service in which you say to the world that you are choosing to follow Jesus.
