Cathedral Square - at the heart of Leicestershire
| The Cathedral Square Project is a joint project of the Bishop, Cathedral and Diocese of Leicester. The project as a whole consists of the creation of a new public square, the internal re-ordering of Leicester Cathedral, and the refurbishment of the St Nicholas Building, formerly part of Leicester grammar school. |
Transforming relationships
Attentiveness to God
at the heart of our diocese, city and county.
“The Cathedral Square development offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Diocese to create a place of outreach, hospitality and service to the community in partnership with the Cathedral. The creation of a new Diocesan Centre set in an open square and adjoining the Cathedral offers to the city and the county a major focus for celebration and service. I commend it to your prayers and to your generosity.”
The Rt. Revd. Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester.
“In a world where the voices of faith and belief are often seen as unnecessary for life today a tangible expression of the Christian hope that Christ offers is more timely than ever. For this reason, the confident Christian presence that the Cathedral Square Project embodies is especially welcome in Leicester, one of Britain’s most diverse cities.”
The Most Revd. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
