St Chad's Cathedral is the Cathedral Church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham.
St Chad’s was the first Catholic cathedral erected in England since the Reformation. It became the Cathedral formally in 1850 when Pope Pius IX restored the Catholic hierarchy of England and Wales.
It is there that Bishop Bernard has his cathedra, his 'Bishop's chair' symbol of his authority as leader of the Church in Birmingham.
A parish guide to St Chad's Cathedral prepared for Holy Communion families is available here.
