The Cathedral of St John the Baptist

The Cathedral of St John the Baptist ⛪ Cathedral of St Johns the Baptist, Norwich
🙏 Mother Church of the Diocese of East Anglia
🏛️ Second Largest Catholic Cathedral in the UK

After nearly a century as the parish church of the Catholic community in Norwich it became the mother church of the new diocese of East Anglia in 1976. It now takes its place with its ‘elder sister’, the Anglican cathedral which is located in the centre of the city. Norwich is one of the few English cities to have two cathedrals and, over the last 30 years, we have grown closer in a spiritual and

practical partnership. As well as being a beautiful building St John’s is a place of prayer that is open every day to all who come in search of peace and tranquillity. It is also the home of a large parish community.

🎟️ Win a Brand-New Notre Dame LEGO® Set and Support Our Cathedral! 🎟️

Last year, we were generously donated two brand-new Notre Dame LEGO® sets by Ross and Jenny Mason.

After learning more about Ross’ story and his relationship with the faith, we felt the most fitting way to honour this gift was to raffle the sets in support of a cause close to Ross’ heart, which also played a key role in the growth of his faith.

🪟 All proceeds from the raffle will go towards the restoration and conservation of our beautiful stained glass windows, helping to preserve them for future generations.

🎫 Tickets are £1 each or £5 per book.
📅 Draw date: Saturday 11 July at 2.30pm

🎟️ How to enter:
Purchase tickets from the Narthex Admin Office, after selected Sunday Masses, or online.
