Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Cardiff city centre, Wales
The Metropolitan Cathedral Church of St David stands at 38 Charles Street, featuring brick construction and Gothic Revival architectural elements at 10.2 meters elevation.
The cathedral suffered substantial damage during World War II bombing in March 1941, leading to extensive restoration works throughout the 1950s under F. R. Bates.
The cathedral maintains a choir of 65 students from St John's College, performing regular services and concerts under the direction of Jeffrey Howard.
The cathedral holds Sunday Mass at 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM, with additional services on weekdays at 12:45 PM and confessions available multiple times throughout the week.
The building contains empty sections in its Sanctuary dating from the 1941 bombing, with current projects aiming to install a suspended crucifix and statues.
