Welcome
A warm welcome to Wakefield Cathedral’s website; we hope that you will find here some interesting information about our lovely building, and lots about the daily life, work and worship of our Christian community.
For over 1000 years, people have been gathering in this holy place to offer their prayers and praise to Almighty God. As they still do every day. It’s difficult to tell from a website, but here we are located right in the centre of the city, surrounded by shops and businesses, with people passing our doors as they go about their daily life. Many of those people stop by to light a candle, say a prayer, or spend a moment of stillness and calm. Why not join them as you visit our site? Contemplate a holy picture or stained glass window. Take a virtual tour of our interior. And as you do so, allow your prayers to weave with those of the Cathedral Community.
We are of course the Cathedral Church for the diocese of Wakefield. This is where you’ll find the seat of the Bishop. It’s a privilege to host so many diocesan events, and to support the Bishop in mission and worship. If you come from a parish in the diocese, we trust that you will always find a warm welcome at the Cathedral.
Or just use this website to find out more of what’s going on. We’re a smallish Cathedral in national terms, but there’s still a lot of activity. Come to a concert, or a coffee morning – or drop in on one of our exhibitions. Place your book orders with our shop. Check out the calendar to know what to look forward to in the coming month. Or follow our development plans – we’re working hard towards a major make-over: to make our facilities more up to date and user-friendly, to help us welcome even more people through our doors. We’d love you to be one of them.
We’re delighted you’ve taken time to visit our website. Please spend a moment looking round, and do let us know what you think. We’re very keen to update and upgrade our site to meet our visitors’ needs, but we’ll never know what they are unless you tell us.
With very best wishes
Jonathan Greener, Dean of Wakefield
