YP Comment: A focal point

Given that there are many smaller urban conurbations that are home to magnificent cathedrals, it is only right that Hull's Holy Trinity Church has been afforded Minster status, a title which will be formally bestowed during next year's City of Culture celebrations.

Long regarded as the country’s largest parish church, it is undergoing a £4.5m transformation and, more importantly, continues to play an active role in Hull, both spiritually and socially, thanks to its team of clergy and their special communication skills. As the Archbishop of York said when he gave his personal blessing to the name change, it can only be to Hull’s longer-term advantage if it has a place 
of worship that is such a focal point for so many.
