Cathedral Choir Concert

by

The final concert in the Cathedral Summer Concert series takes place on Friday 13 July and will mark the end of the academic year for the Cathedral Choir.

Friday 13 July, 7.00pm
Llandaff Cathedral Choir in Concert

Music to be performed will include:

Handel – Zadok the Priest, Lewis – The souls of the righteous, Gjeilo – Ubi caritas, Lauridsen – O nata lux, Todd – The Call of Wisdom

Tickets for this concert will be priced £10, £8 (concessions) and £5 for students and will be available on the door. The Cathedral Choir Association will serve refreshments at the close of the concert.

Director of Music, Stephen Moore, says “I am greatly looking forward to this year’s Cathedral Choir Concert which will be the last event of the academic year for the choir and will follow hot on the heels of them making a CD recording earlier the same week. It’s always a wonderful occasion and a great opportunity for the choir to perform outside of their usual liturgical role. Much of the music to be performed has been learned over the past academic year, and this concert gives us a chance to reflect on that year and look forward to the next.”

All are assured of a warm welcome.

 

The Ordination Service 2018

by

“The Ordination Service 2018: Preparations have already begun in Llandaff Cathedral for our Ordination Service which will be held on the 30th June.  This service has always played a significant part in the life, not only of the Cathedral but in the Diocese as a whole.  It marks the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of those who are going to be ordained, as at the service they will be commissioned by the Bishop to serve God and his people in wonderful new ways.  For those who will be ordained deacon, they will be moving home and beginning again in new parishes after being in Theological College, while those who are going to be ordained as priests will be continuing in their curacies and yet beginning a new kind of ministry.

Please keep the candidates, their families and all who support them in your prayers as they prepare for this life changing event. “

 

Lent Lunches

by

Lent Lunches continue a tradition that has been a practice in Llandaff for many years. A frugal lunch of soup, cheese, bread and butter followed by tea or coffee and some good conversation with friends, with proceeds going to charity to help those in need.

Our annual Lent lunches were very well supported, as always. Many thanks to all who came to partake, enjoy the convivial atmosphere and support the Cathedral Lenten Charity. Many thanks also to all those who hosted a lunch, cooked and served soup, waited on tables or washed dishes. We raised a wonderful total of £908.50 which will go to support the Cardiff Food Bank.

Cards and more

by

Find cards for every occasion at the Cathedral Shop this spring. Whether you want to wish someone a happy birthday, congratulate a couple on their anniversary, or send a message of sympathy, the shop is well-stocked with cards in a variety of styles. Why not tick those post-Christmas ‘thank you’ letters off your list, with a pack of four notecards for only 99p? You can also find cards to celebrate a loved one’s confirmation, ordination or first Holy Communion.

The shop also has a wide selection of gifts, from jewellery to books, mugs to paperweights, CDs to tea towels. The shop is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, and is situated in the southwest corner of the Cathedral (to the right as you come in the main West Door).

Volunteering in the shop is a wonderful way to support the Cathedral. If you have two hours to spare on a weekly or monthly basis, and would like to know more, please contact Mary Madsen through the Cathedral Office.

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.
