FRIENDS OF THE CATHEDRAL
The Friends share in the life of the Cathedral by their
interest, their prayers and their service. Anyone can become a Friend of the Metropolitan Cathedral and we would very much encourage you to do so.
The purpose of the Friends is to support the Metropolitan Cathedral and to contribute financially and in other appropriate ways to its preservation, beautification and ministry by:
-
assisting and supporting the Dean in maintaining and improving the fabric, fittings, art works, exhibitions, music and facilities of the Cathedral;

encouraging the interest and participation of young people through educational activities;
