Beautiful church!

An oasis of calm, situated in the centre of Belfast. It's an old church, established in the eighteenth century after the Penal Laws (which had outlawed the Catholic religion) were relaxed. Both the Chuch of Ireland, and the Presbyterian Church contributed financially towards the building. I would recommend the Mass in Irish on Sundays at 11.30am.
