North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly along with local curate Fr Gary Donegan and Fr Gary's life-long friend Eamonn McLaughlin took part in a charity abseil off the Europa at the weekend.
A total so far of almost £7,000 has been raised towards parish funds, with the money going some way towards clearing the parish debt.
Swapping his usual Assembly suit and tie for a rope and a harness, Gerry made Saturday's descent his second charity abseil down the Europa Hotel.
“I was very pleased to be asked to get involved in Saturday's charity abseil because it's these sorts of events that make my work light-hearted and fun,” he said.
“I was only too pleased to support the community and the parish and it's definitely something I want to do more of in the future.”
Gerry meanwhile extended his congratulations to Holy Cross Boys' Gaelic footballers on winning the Raffo Cup at Casement last week, and Ardoyne Kickhams senior footballers on capturing the Beringer Cup, again at Casement Park, on Sunday.
