Welcome from Canon Brian

Dear friends,

"How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts" (Psalm 84,1)

A very warm welcome to the website of St Chad’s Cathedral, the mother church of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and a place of prayer, beauty, and pilgrimage since its foundation.

Whether you are visiting us for the first time, returning after some time away, or joining us regularly, I hope you will find here a glimpse of the faith, history and community that make St Chad’s such a cherished spiritual home.

With every blessing,

Canon Brian McGinley
