Belfast

Katherine Jenkins visits the Titanic Quarter in Belfast for St Patrick’s Day. She learns about the rich history of the area once occupied by the Harland and Wolff Shipyard, where Titanic was built. On board the Titanic’s tender vessel, the SS Nomadic, she meets Maureen McKinney, whose grandfather worked on the construction of the famous liner. Katherine also visits the Dock Cafe at the heart of the growing new community of Titanic Quarter. Supported by six different Christian denominations, it runs as an honesty cafe, where customers pay whatever they feel is fair, and hosts a weekly event for international residents. On St Patrick’s Day, Claire McCollum visits a unique Belfast church that’s built in the shape of a shamrock. The rector tells Claire how Ireland’s patron saint used the simple shamrock to explain the doctrine of the holy trinity as he preached across Ireland in the fifth century.
