Welcome to Leicester Cathedral

Welcome to the Leicester Cathedral website. Our chuch has been loved and prayed in for hundreds of years. We became a cathedral in 1927 and, since then, we have had a special responsibility to support the ministry of Bishop Tim, the work of the Diocese of Leicester, and the people who live and work in this great and diverse city.

We offer a place of for prayer and contemplation for the many people who drop in, as well as a centre for Christian education and a base for outreach into the city and county supporting a wide range of community projects. Because of Christ's calling to us to go out in his name, we sponsor particular projects working amongst asylum seekers and refugees, with those living with cancer, and a Street Pastor scheme at weekends.

Day by day, and Sunday by Sunday, the Cathedral Community meets here to worship. That is the heartbeat of this place, enabling it to be both a sanctuary and a powerhouse. Whatever your faith and culture, you are welcome here, to visit, explore and experience for yourself the life of a centre of Christian belief.

Through this website you can discover our Cathedral and its interesting and diverse life. Whether you are after our latest music sheet, looking for an event to attend, or you want to read what our clergy and staff have to say on our blog, you can find it here.
