The Friends of Saint Mary’s exist to support the Dean & Cathedral Chapter in maintaining and enhancing the Cathedral and its surroundings. Assisting and supporting the Dean and Chapter in maintaining and improving the services, music, fabric, fittings, furniture, ornaments, monuments and facilities of the Cathedral. Encouraging the interest and participation of young people through education and activities. Stimulating and maintaining public interest in the Cathedral. Supporting the needs of the Cathedral’s mission in the modern world.

To get to know each other (as ‘friends’ as well as ‘Friends’) we enjoy a varied programme of shared activities, including lectures, excursions and social events; an annual highlight is the Friends’ Christmas concert in the Cathedral given by talented young performers. In June every year, we gather for the Friends’ Festival; this includes the AGM, as well as an opportunity to visit parts of the Cathedral and its precincts not otherwise open to the public.

The day culminates in Festal Evensong. Friends receive an annual membership card which entitles them to free access to the Cathedral, and new members are invited to participate in a ‘welcome’ tour of the Cathedral. All members receive a Newsletter each year to keep them informed about events and activities. The Friends are united in their desire to support and maintain this 900-year-old Cathedral.

Joining the Friends helps ensure that we can continue this important work.

Location: Saint Mary's Cathedral - Bridge St, Englishtown, Limerick, V94 E068, Ireland
