On Friday the 23rd December 2011, the Revd Precentor Noel Regan, Rector of St Macartan’s Cathedral in Clogher
stood outside the Cathedral from 9.00am until 5.00pm.
Precentor Regan did this in order to raise funds for Omagh Samaritans. A spokesperson said “we at Samaritans in Omagh
are extremely grateful for this fantastic act of support for our organisation. We also wish to thank the people of
Clogher and other members of the public who gave so generously to this collection.”
As well as collecting much needed funds for Samaritans, Precentor Regan aimed to raise awareness of the service that
Samaritans provide to anyone who is in distress or despair. Omagh branch of Samaritans covers Tyrone and Fermanagh.
Precentor Noel Regan and some parishioners of Clogher Cathedral handed over a cheque for £2,001 to Mr Michael Wright
who is the director of the Omagh branch of Samaritans, and some Samaritans volunteers after the morning service in
Clogher cathedral on Sunday 8th January.
