Music staff from the two Cathedrals in Liverpool are coming together to raise money for MICAH, a social justice charity that has been set up by Liverpool Cathedral, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King and St Bride’s Church to relieve Liverpool residents from social injustice and poverty. 

Chris is Director of Music at the Metropolitan Cathedral. Stephen is the Director of Music Outreach at Liverpool Cathedral. They have been training together (albeit socially distanced and when legally permitted) for this special event.  

The pair will be running a marathon on New Year's Eve 2020 in a self-devised route which starts on Hope Street - taking in both cathedrals , passes our two famous football grounds, and finishes in front of the Grade I listed Liver Buildings at the Pier Head. They are running to raise money for MICAH Liverpool.

Liverpool has long been known for the warmth of its ecumenical relationships, perhaps best exemplified by Bishop David Shepherd and Archbishop Derek Worlock who worked tirelesly to stand up for the city of Liverpool in the 1970's and 1980's.

The pair are hoping to raise £2000 for MICAH, to assist them in their current projects to combat unemployment and deliver emergency food aid and affordable food at this difficult time for so many people.

Please do give whatever you can to help this fantastic charity to do it's pioneering and much-needed work for our wonderful city.
