Friends of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral

Members of the Society of the Friends of Saint Patrick's Cathedral support the life, mission, and ministry of the Cathedral.

The Friends come from all walks of life and all faiths and none but are united by their commitment to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.

Each Friend is entitled to free entry to the cathedral (on presentation of their membership card), the twice-yearly magazine, Saint Patrick’s People, and to apply for tickets to the Christmas Eve Service of Nine Lessons and Carols. The activities of the Friends include the annual Friends Festival Evensong and Garden Party in June, a Christmas Evening in December, and visits to places of interest.
