Title: Nearest Catholic Church to the Sandy Row?
Post by: Oraisteach on April 04, 2015, 01:24:14 AM
I know, I know.  This must rank as one of the more absurd questions ever posed on this board, but I was thinking the nearest church might be St. Paul's.  Is there a closer one, if you're heading down, on foot, from the Malone Rd. area and up the Sandy Row?  And why would you do that, you may well ask.  Well, I really don't have an answer.

Thanks, Armaghniac, but I was looking for the nearest church if you actually walked up the Sandy Row, and, no, I'm not wishing to reenact the Passion.

You are strongly advised not to pose this question to any of the natives while actually in Sandy Row! ;D

Belfast sounds a very Catholic town, no end of places to worship.

I believe they are sharing a building with the mosque.
