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.

Each Parish in the Church of Ireland is required to maintain a Register of Vestry Members. Inclusion on this register entitles you to stand for election to serve on the Select Vestry and to exercise your right to vote at our Annual General Vestry meeting.
A review of this register must take place in February of each year, with this year’s review meeting is taking place at 7:30pm on Monday 17th February in the Clayton Memorial Hall.
If your name does not already appear on the register and you would like to have it added, you would need to contact the Church Office on 028 9269 3968 or dromorecathedral@outlook.com and request a form of declaration which needs to be completed and returned to the Church Office or the Rectory before the review meeting takes place.
Those who wish to have their name added to the register have to be 18 years old or above and have supported the Church financially in a recordable manner in the year previous to the review meeting. Recordable financial support is by means of FWO envelopes, Standing Orders, online Bank Transfer or a one off donation where the donation is done in such a manner that a receipt could be provided. Loose offerings on the collection plate do not qualify as recordable giving as there is no way of determining the identity of the giver.
The register is currently open for inspection until Monday.
The craft class is tomorrow, and every Tuesday morning at 10:30am in the Clayton Memorial Hall.
We’ve all heard it said on numerous occasions that ‘No man is an island.’ This well known saying is so much more than a cliché; the bottom line is we do life better together. That’s the rationale behind Dromore Cathedral’s RECHARGE initiative.
The idea is very simple, over the next several months social evenings will be arranged, roughly every 6 weeks, and every man over 18 from the Cathedral (feel free to bring a neighbour or work colleague along) is invited to come along.
In time the group will develop and take on its own shape, but in these early days RECHARGE has the simple aim of giving men the opportunity to pause within an informal setting and at the same time build a sense of community.
In a change to the date in the magazine, RECHARGE will meet on Tuesday 18th February when the men will go to Banbridge to watch a film together. The film is called September 5. The group will leave the cathedral hall car park at 7:30pm and car sharing/lifts will be available.
