Due to the adverse weather conditions and warnings issued by the Met Office for Thursday 1 March, today’s Solemn Sung Eucharist for St David at 5.15pm is cancelled and the Bishop’s Lent Talk at 7pm is postponed. The Cathedral will close at 3pm.

The Bishop’s second Lent Talk will now take place on Thursday 8 March. The third will take place on Thursday 15 March, and the final address will be offered at Choral Evensong in the Cathedral at 3.30pm on Palm Sunday. We do hope that you will be able to join us on that day.

Dr John R Kenyon, Head Server

by

It was on Christmas Day in 2003 that John Kenyon assumed the role of Head Server, following the retirement of Terry Lewis. Fourteen years later, the Choral Eucharist on Christmas Day in 2017 became the final service of his tenure.

On Sunday 28 January,  John’s time as Head Server was celebrated with a special Choral Evensong. To mark the occasion, the team of servers he organised so efficiently joined the procession and the choir sang an additional anthem at his request; ‘If Ye Love me’, by Thomas Tallis.

The Dean spoke of his gratitude to John, and his wife Chris, and presented them with a gift for the time they both gave in order to provide the Cathedral with an always reliable team of servers, not just on Sundays but at weekday services as well.

The Virgers in particular are very grateful to John and the service he has given, as he always made life a lot easier for them, particularly at 7am on Sunday mornings! Fortunately John will not be disappearing completely as he will continue to serve for services in the week, but he will now be able to enjoy Sunday mornings from the congregation.

Our Mission Statement

Llandaff Cathedral is a Christian gathering of the Church in Wales, which is a province of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is also the seat of the Bishop of Llandaff. The Cathedral is a focus of pilgrimage and spirituality in the Diocese of Llandaff and for the City of Cardiff. Our purpose is therefore to worship God and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. In so doing, we welcome all who come here, irrespective of gender, race, creed or sexuality, in order that we might share and pass on our rich Christian heritage and the joy of Christian faith.

Thought for the Week

Throughout the summer holiday period, we pray that all our parishioners have a relaxing and enjoyable break, whether at home or away.   

We also welcome all visitors to our Cathedral this summer and hope that they enjoy their time here.
