The Metropolitan Cathedral Church of St David (Welsh: Eglwys Gadeiriol Fetropolitan Dewi Sant), also known as St David's Cathedral, Cardiff, is a Catholic cathedral in the city centre of Cardiff, Wales, and is the centre of the Archdiocese of Cardiff.
Located in Charles Street,[1] the cathedral remains the focal point for Catholic life in Cardiff, and the country as a whole. It is one of only three Catholic cathedrals in the United Kingdom that is associated with a choir school.[2]
