The Parish Community of this Cathedral Church seeks to live by the Gospel as a sign of Christ’s saving presence in the world.

It is committed to being a welcoming community which caters for the spiritual and pastoral needs of its members.

It will develop the faith and discipleship of its members through worship, education and formation to enable them to play  their proper part in the Church’s ministry and mission to follow Christ, wherever they live and work.

• It is pledged to promote the unity of all Christians and to work together with them whenever possible.

• It seeks to be an active Christian presence and partner in the City of Bristol, in the universities, hospitals and local communities and to be in dialogue with them.

• It will strive to achieve the highest standards, serving the needs of the Diocese and the region as a spiritual, liturgical, musical, pastoral and educational resource.
