Our guests had the opportunity to walk through a timeline of Cathedral\u2019s history, from the Victorian era to the present day; browse old photographs; handle various artefacts; and read the school\u2019s logbooks, dating back as far as 1925. Mrs McCarthy was also on hand to share photographs of her classes through the years, which was hugely popular with visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">There was a wonderful atmosphere in the hall, with lots of memories and stories being shared, and it was great to see some brand new faces to Cathedral, all of whom were delighted to receive their invitation to our school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Particular thanks to Mrs Mellon for pulling together the various elements of the exhibition in her usual magical way and to Redline Cabs for providing free transport to residents from the sheltered housing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The main Mass to celebrate Cathedral\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> 150th anniversary takes place in the cathedral this coming Tuesday, 20th May, at 10.00am.
