CELEBRATIONS will take place at St Macartin’s tonight (Wednesday) to mark the official re-opening and dedication of their newly extended and renovated Cathedral Hall.
The refurbishment of the popular Enniskillen facility, used by many organisations throughout the community, replaces the old Cathedral Hall opened in 1964 and the original Parochial Hall built in 1922.
The main hall facilities have been modified and completed to the highest standards. In addition to the main rooms which include the Hilliard Room, The Iona Room, The Enniskeen Room and The Devenish Room, there is a new stainless steel industrial scale kitchen. A major new addition is The Upper Room which has been created above the former stage area.
The new Diocesan suite of offices, which are accessed from the lower carpark area, have their own separate entrance facing Hall’s Lane. An extended car park, accommodating an additional 30 cars, will be accessed only by those who are authorised to use it and will be controlled by barriers.
Speaking ahead of reopening, Dean Kenny Hall said: “This time last year we started on a journey of faith for the future. We decided to enter into a major refurbishment of our Cathedral Hall. The Select Vestry understood that this was a monumental undertaking but it is not without precedent. Just over 50 years ago the then Select Vestry and the congregation gathered around a seemingly mighty project to build the original Cathedral Hall.
“We look forward to a fully functional Cathedral Hall which will not only meet parish and diocesan needs but will also meet an anticipated high demand from others who wish to use these high quality facilities located right in the centre of Enniskillen.”
