St Columbanus' College

St. Columbanus' College is a Roman Catholic secondary school situated on the Ballymaconnell Road, Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. History The foundation stone for St Columbanus' Secondary Intermediate School, as it was then known, was laid by Bishop Daniel Mageean on the Feast of the Assumption, 15 August 1959. The school was built to serve the parishes of Bangor, Holywood and Newtownards and opened within a week of the feast of St Columbanus on 29 November 1960. A wide curriculum was offered with an emphasis on the teaching of vocational and technical skills. Many pupils left at the age of fifteen to take up employment while a small GCE class remained to study for external examinations. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw a significant growth in enrolment which required a major extension to the original building. The school has grown significantly, focusing on both academic and vocational skills. In 2001, the college established a Sixth Form, allowing post-GCSE pupils to remain and study at St. Columbanus. Numbers of students completing A Levels at the college are still on the rise, showing an approximate 4-fold increase in the past 3 years.

Mercado de St George

El mercado de St George​ (en inglés: St George's Market, literalmente «Mercado de San Jorge») es el último mercado cubierto de estilo victoriano que sobrevive en Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, en el Reino Unido. Construido de ladrillo rojo y con un tejado de cristal, se encuentra en la calle de Mayo, cerca del río Lagan y el Waterfront Hall. Belfast Corporation (ahora el Ayuntamiento de Belfast) encargó la construcción del mercado de San Jorge, que fue construido en tres fases entre 1890 y 1896. Antes de 1890 había un mercado abierto en el mismo lugar. A principios de la década de 1990, y debido a sus costes de mantenimiento y los cambios en la normativa sobre higiene, el ayuntamiento barrajó la posibilidad de reurbanizar la zona. Sin embargo, dada su singularidad tanto del propio edificio como de su mercado, la correspondiente campaña popular para salvar el mercado hizo que las autoridades dieron marcha atrás y, entre 1997 a 1999, se llevá a cabo una restauración por un importe de 3,5 millones de libras.​ En 2014 fue nombrado el mejor mercado cubierto del Reino Unido.​ Véase también Economía del Reino Unido Referencias

St John the Baptist Cathedral, Sligo

St John the Baptist Cathedral, Sligo or more properly the Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist, Sligo but also known as Sligo Cathedral is one of two cathedral churches in the diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh (the other is St Fethlimidh's Cathedral, Kilmore) in the Church of Ireland. It is situated in the town of Sligo, Ireland in the ecclesiastical province of Armagh. The cathedral is the oldest building still in continuous use in the town. History The site on which the church was built was originally a 13th-century hospital and parish. The current church's west tower is thought to contain remnants of the original building. German architect Richard Cassels originally came to Sligo in 1730 in order to design Hazelwood House for the Wynne family. At the same time he was also commissioned to design St. John's Church. Sir Roger Jones built the church using Cassels' designs in about 1730. In 1961, the Elphin and Ardagh diocese cathedral church was abandoned after sustaining significant damage during a storm in 1957. The Seat of the Bishop of Elphin and Ardagh was subsequently transferred to St. John's Church and on 25 October 1961, St. John's officially became the Cathedral Church of the Elphin and Ardagh dioceses, under the name of the Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin and St. John the Baptist. Architecture Cassels was inspired by Roman architecture and used basilica patterns from that time. In 1812 and 1883, the church underwent significant renovations. During this time, the round-arched Romanesque windows were removed, and the chancel was expanded. Additionally, small towers and battlements were added to the building. However, some of the original Romanesque windows still survive in the west tower.

Собор Иоанна Крестителя (Слайго)

Собор Иоанна Крестителя (англ. St John the Baptist Cathedral), полное название — Собор Пресвятой Девы Марии и Иоанна Крестителя (англ. Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist) — один из двух англиканских соборов Церкви Ирландии в диоцезе Килмора, Элфина и Арды (второй — собор Святого Фелима в Килморе). Находится в Слайго на северо-западе Ирландии. В Слайго также есть католический собор Непорочного Зачатия. История Собор Иоанна Крестителя почти наверняка построен на месте средневековой лечебницы и приходской церкви в честь Троицы, основанной в XIII веке. Часть средневековой постройки включена в нынешнюю западную башню. Когда ирландский архитектор немецкого происхождения Рихард Кассельс (1690—1751) приехал в Слайго в 1730 году, чтобы спроектировать Хейзелвуд-хаус для семьи Уинн, ему также заказали построить церковь Св. Иоанна. При проектировании Кассельс находился под сильным влиянием архитектуры базилики в раннероманском стиле. При дальнейших перестройках в 1812 и 1883 годах внешний вид здания был существенно изменён за счет замены оригинальных романских окон с круглыми арками, добавления зубцов и небольших башен, а также расширения алтаря. Несколько романских окон всё ещё можно увидеть в западной башне. В 1961 году было принято перенести резиденцию епископа в церковь Иоанна Крестителя в Слайго после того, как за четыре года до этого кафедральный собор диоцеза Элфина и Арды в деревне Элфин сильно пострадал из-за урагана. 25 октября 1961 года церкви был присвоен статус кафедрального собора; её освятили во имя Пресвятой Девы Марии и Иоанна Крестителя.

St Joseph's Industrial School, Clonmel

St Joseph's Industrial School, generally referred to as Ferryhouse, is located four kilometres east of Clonmel, in County Tipperary, Ireland. The original building was erected in 1884 by Count Arthur Moore, a wealthy local Catholic as a reformatory for boys. Shortly after its construction, Moore invited the Rosminians to run the school. History Arthur John Moore was an enthusiastic supporter of the new Industrial Schools as an alternative to the detention of children in Workhouses. However, his motives for establishing Ferryhouse may not have been entirely altruistic. At this time he was running for Parliament and the building of the school, which had widespread popular support, was completed just in time for the 1880 General election. Moore was successfully returned to Westminster for the Home Rule Party. In January 1885, a Certificate was granted by the State for the school to receive 150 boys and in 1944 this Certificate was increased to 200. The numbers in Ferryhouse ranged from 189 boys in 1940, increasing to a high of 205 in 1960. This number decreased to 160 in 1970. There were between 150 and 200 boys in Ferryhouse until the 1970s. Thereafter, the numbers began to gradually decline but until the 1980s, the numbers were far in excess of the certified number. Scandal Like many residential institutions in the country, in 2009, following publication of the Ryan report, Ferryhouse was finally recognised as a place of systematic physical and sexual abuse of children carried on over a period of many years. Michael O'Brien, a survivor of abuse and a former pupil of the school, spoke on Questions and Answers of how he suffered horrendous physical and sexual abuse at the hands of the Rosminians, and how it affected him to this day.

The school has approximately 700 students and has a range of extra curricular activities which include music and choir, drama, debating, equestrian and golf. History In 1925, the school was registered as a secondary school with the approval of the Department of Education. Many of the students educated at St. Joseph’s from the 1920s onwards entered Teacher Training Colleges or University or went on to work in the Civil Service. During the 1960s, it became increasingly evident that a new school would have to be built as student numbers continued to grow. In an effort to support the work of the Sisters, a Parents Association was formed to raise funds for the building project. A government grant was made available and in 1969 the main block of St. Joseph’s Secondary School, as we know it, was officially opened. In 2007, the school began operating under the trusteeship of CEIST Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust.
