Visit by former Dean’s Scholar

We welcomed a former Dean’s Scholar John Raymond Davies back to the Cathedral for a guided tour.

John was here to attend one of the Festival of Voice Bryn Terfel concerts with some of his family and was greeted by the Church Warden and Head Virger.

The Cathedral was a significant part of John’s childhood and the memories came flooding back during his tour.

John’s family were kind enough to bring some photograph’s of his time at the Cathedral along with a photo taken during the service attended by HM the Queen on 1960 to mark the restoration.

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

This week is Christian Aid Week when Christians from all walks of life and traditions raise funds to help our poorest brothers and sisters around the globe. This year Christian Aid Week falls within Thy Kingdom Come, an ecumenical global prayer movement throughout the 11 days between Ascension Day and Pentecost. Each day we pray for a world where every one of God’s children is treasured here on earth:

Holy God, in your Kingdom the strong need the weak, the rich are transformed by the poor, the fortunate are welcomed by the homeless. Your Kingdom is built by those who expect their God to come. Amen.
