Stewards urgently needed at Belfast Cathedral
Belfast Cathedral attracts visitors from around the world and volunteers provide a valuable service as Stewards, welcoming guests and giving them information.
There is an urgent need for more volunteers to augment the current team of Stewards during the Cathedral opening hours of 10.00am until 4.00pm daily.
The Dean of Belfast, the Very Revd John Mann, said: “Stewards play a vital role in the life of the Cathedral and their services are greatly appreciated. I would encourage anyone who could contribute a little of their time to support those who so faithfully welcome our visitors.”
Some stewards contribute two hours a week and some two hours a month. Training will be provided.
Anyone who feels they could give of their time on a regular basis is asked to contact the Revd Campbell Dixon on 07879427980 or send an email to: campbelldixon@hotmail.co.uk.
