SUPPORT THE CATHEDRAL
The Cathedral is a thriving parish community in the centre of the city. It has been a place of worship for more than two centuries and as the mother Church of the Archdiocese of St. Andrew & Edinburgh, it provides a central point for the Catholic communities of the Diocese, local residents and a welcoming hub for visitors to the city. We are blessed with several choirs and a vibrant programme of music, events and outreach projects. Our building is beautiful and old and so requires a huge amount of care and maintenance and it costs £1000 per day which our weekly collections don’t quite cover. We can only keep going through the generosity of our parishioners and visitors.
DONATE TO THE BUILDING FUND
Our current project is to raise £500,000 for repairs to the Cathedral roof.
General Donations

With your help it will continue to be a place of peace and serenity in the city centre, a place where God can be encountered and community found; where strangers and the vulnerable can find welcome and from where we can reach out into the heart of modern Scotland.
