Friends of St. Canice’s Cathedral

The cathedral, AD1285, is a treasured possession of the Church of Ireland and a vital element of the city’s colourful history as Irelands’ Medieval Capital.   The sizeable annual cost of maintaining it is a great responsibility for the parishioners of Kilkenny.

The Society of the Friends of St Canice’s Cathedral was established in 1951 with the aim of contributing towards the general maintenance and preservation of the cathedral and its services.

The funds of the society are applied exclusively to these aims and membership is open to anyone who feels an affinity with this church and wish to support the enhanced presentation of this splendid and ancient cathedral. Membership is just €40.00 per annum.

A general meeting is held annually and an address is given on some feature of interest in connection with the history of the cathedral or its architecture.
