Cork bishop seeks support for €1.2m cathedral organ appeal

The Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, the Rt Rev Paul Colton, has called on the people of Cork to support a €1.2 million appeal to rebuild a historic organ at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral. 

Bishop Colton said the organ was “central to the tradition of worship and music which has been synonymous with St Fin Barre’s”.

Those who wish to get involved can sponsor a pipe of the new organ, at any level ranging from €20 to €500, with all pipe sponsors getting a commemorative certificate as well as having their names printed in a special donors’ book to be kept by the organ.
