Schools across the Archdiocese of Liverpool still have time to take part in an exciting creative competition to help celebrate a very special milestone.
As we prepare to mark the Cathedral’s 60th anniversary in 2027, we are inviting pupils to design the front cover of our official 2027 Cathedral Calendar. The winning design will be featured on a calendar that will be available for purchase throughout the anniversary year, giving one talented young artist the chance to have their work seen across Liverpool and beyond.
The competition is open to all schools in the Archdiocese of Liverpool, with pupils invited to design a cover celebrating the Cathedral’s 60th birthday.
