About Us

Blackburn Cathedral is one of England's newest cathedrals, yet it is one of the country's oldest places of Christian worship. For many centuries, this has been the Parish Church of Blackburn dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin.

It continues as a place of prayer and worship and is now at the centre of the Diocese which takes in almost the whole of Lancashire.

This section of the web-site will tell you about the practicalities of giving, projects and people in the context of the vision for our work. It also contains information about the governance of the Cathedral and the people who have responsibility for its work and ministry.
