Welcome from The Dean
For centuries Portsmouth Cathedral has been a beacon for people on land and at sea, helping them navigate the passage of time with faith and confidence in God. It is a building of greatness and simple enduring beauty, and a lively, inclusive and compassionate community which has a positive impact on the lives of people in its own parish, as well as the City and Diocese of Portsmouth.
Our vision is to be ‘a beacon and safe haven, anchored in Jesus Christ’. In these uncertain times, whether digitally or in the Cathedral itself, you are most welcome.
With my prayers and best wishes,
Anthony Cane
