THE PRINCE of Wales became the first member of the modern royal family to enter a Catholic church in Northern Ireland last Sat urday.
Prince Charles visited St Malachy’s Church in Belfast as one of three engage ments in the city, to see the results of a £3.5 million restoration project which has just been completed. The church was destroyed by a Luftwaffe bomb in 1941 and then rebuilt.
The Prince was welcomed by Bishop Noel Treanor of Down and Connor, Emeritus Bishop Patrick Walsh of Down and Connor, Rev Norman Hamilton, Moderator General of the Presbyterian Church, and Fr Martin Graham, a priest of the parish.
The Prince also met parishioners and representatives of parish groups.
