Friends of St Davids Cathedral

The Friends were formed in 1932 by the then Dean, Watkyn Morgan.

The Friends is an organization which draws together individuals, corporate groups and parishes from across the world who wish to support the mission and ministry of St Davids Cathedral.

Aims Of The Friends
To assist the Dean and Chapter in restoring and maitaining the Cathedral Church to the greater glory of God and in honour of David Patron Saint of Wales

To subscribe to the funds required from time to time for beautifying the cathedral and for maintaining and improving worship in the Church.

To organise the raising of capital funds as required for any emergency that may arise which cannot be provided for out of funds available to the Dean and Chapter.

Why be a member?
St Davids Cathedral receives no state funding and is therefore totally reliant on the generosity of visitors and pilgrims. The Friends exist in order to support the Cathedral through a witness of prayer and financial giving. It is only through the generosity of the Friends during the past 75 years that the Cathedral has been able to continually restore and enhance the building, and provide a living house of God.
