Worship
Today, the Cathedral offers two full choral services each Sunday and on other selected occasions and has frequently been invited to broadcast on radio. In addition, a daily service, usually the office of Matins is said and Holy Days are marked by celebrations of the Eucharist. To further develop the Cathedral's diocesan role, the present Dean has recently introduced a system by which it is regularly used by individual parishes for their principal Sunday worship. For the wider community, the Cathedral hosts ecumenical and civic services, stages concerts and recitals and is used by schools and organisations for Christmas Carol Services.
The Cathedral is seen at its best in major services such as those marking the General Synod of the Church of Ireland, the enthronement of archbishops and occasions, like those in 1991 and 2005, when the Primates of the Anglican Communion visited Armagh. Carefully arranged orders of service, meticulously organised processions and majestic music continue to ensure faithfulness to Patrick’s ideal that the first in Irish Christendom should be the Great Church at Armagh.
