L to R: Michael Johnston, David Brattle, the Rev Kenneth McGrath, Jennifer Neill and Michael Wright who abseiled down the Europa Hotel to raise funds for Lisburn Cathedral. The Vicar of Lisburn Cathedral, the Rev Ken McGrath, rector’s son Michael Wright and Cathedral parishioners Michael Johnston, David Brattle and Jennifer Neill, all stepped off the roof of Belfast’s Europa Hotel on September 27.

The group braved perilous heights, cold winds and being photographed from unflattering angles to abseil down the front of the hotel to raise money for the church building fund
