Venue
Chichester Cathedral
Address
West Street Chichester, PO19 1PX, United Kingdom

'The Season of Lent is a time of introspection, as we think of those dark days that led to Jesus, Son of God, hanging broken on the cross. Imagine the disciples, in their overwhelming fear and their grief, and parallels with our own broken world will not be far behind. Friend, I invite you not to despair, but to trust. Come and stand before God, just as you are. He welcomes you, accepts you, wherever you are on your journey. You are his child. So bring your hope, bring your sorrow. Your doubts and fears. And together, we will trust in God; learning, day by day through Lent of the depth of his love. The joy of Easter is coming!'

The Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, Acting Dean

Safeguarding

The Dean and Chapter are committed to the protection of children and vulnerable adults visiting the Cathedral, the Cathedral Choristers, and those attending services as well as any Employees, Trainees and Volunteers.

There are seven people at the Cathedral (two clergy, four staff, and a volunteer team leader) who work closely with the Cathedral Safeguarding Officer and are specially trained and available to talk to anyone who has a safeguarding concern about a child, young person or any adult who may be at risk.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
