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

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

After the devastating events of natural disaster in the Americas and surrounding Islands, our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected in these tragedies. Particularly at this time, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Mexico after the recent earthquake.
We pray for the victims, for their families, and for all relief agencies in helping those who have been injured.
Lord God, whose Son, Jesus Christ, understood people's fear and pain before they spoke of them, we pray for the people of Mexico; surround the frightened with your tenderness; give strength to those in pain; hold the weak in your arms of love, and give hope and patience to those who are recovering from injury; we ask this through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.
