Appreciating the
Ecclesiastical Heritage of
KNOCK and BALLYHACKAMORE
Thursday 22 SEPTEMBER 2016
The Ulster Historic Churches Trust, which was founded in 1995 and exists to promote best practice in Church maintenance, has run several seminars and conferences over many years. It also organised with UTV and the NIEA the very successful Church Maintenance award scheme of 2006. To date it has organised walking tours in Cookstown, Newtownards, Portadown, Derry/Londonderry, Enniskillen and Armagh.
This latest event run in collaboration with Knock Churches involves a tour of local churches,
designed to appreciate the rich legacy of the area’s fine ecclesiastical heritage, followed by an
informative talk aimed at how best to maintain these buildings for future generations.
We hope that Glebe Wardens, Vergers, Sextons and Property Stewards will find this particularly helpful.
You are warmly invited to join us for this event.
The walking tour includes the following churches: St Columba’s C of I, St Colmcille’s Catholic Church, Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church, Knock Methodist and Knock Presbyterian Church
Programme:
2.30 pm Walking Tour begins at St Columba’s Church of Ireland
