[edit] History
The origins of the cathedral are related to the construction in 445 of stone church on the Druim Saileach (Sallow Ridge) hill by St. Patrick, around which a monastic community developed. The Church was and is the center of the Church of Ireland.
The Church itself has been destroyed and rebuilt 17 times. It was substantially restored between 1834 and 1840 by Archbishop Lord John George Beresford and the architect Lewis Nockalls Cottingham.
Cathedral Worship
On Sundays there are three services held in the cathedral, 10:00am Holy Communion, 11:00am The Parish Eucharist(except on the 5th Sunday of the month when Sung Matins is celebrated) and at 3:15pm Choral Evensong.
