Thanks to the Minster Layclerks and Organ Scholar for their concert today for the Friends of Doncaster Minster.
Thanks to the Organ Scholar for her Organ Solos and to Jimmy Wood for his solo. A superb afternoon tea was served after the concert followed by the Friends AGM.

Wonderful to see so many at our service for Mothering Sunday this morning, and especially pleased to celebrate the success of six choristers who have achieved their blue Voice for Life medals, and to enrol two new senior choristers. A fitting reward for all their hard work and of course the support and teaching from Darren our Musical Director.
We were also happy to welcome the pilgrims of Navigators of Faith who are journeying from Malmesbury Abbey to York during Lent carrying a 12’ cross.
Finally, our thanks also for the contribution from the Minster Flower Guild who prepared over 100 bunches of flowers that were blessed and distributed by choristers during the service.

Good sunny morning everyone. If you are out and about in Doncaster today it is a good opportunity to see the Minster’s beautiful stained glass windows as the sun shines in. Visit between 10.30 am and 3.30 pm and see the windows at their best. Everyone is welcome

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the terrorist attacks on Mosques in Christchurch.
We have opened a book of condolence in the Minster for everyone who wishes to come and light a candle and pray for the victims and for peace across the world.

Wonderful place. Take any opportunity you can to visit. As well as church services, the Minster hosts loads of community events, open days, charity events & special events.

We visited for the Lost Chord concert featuring Lesley Garret and friends, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience

We took part in the tour of the tower today. Wow! Absolutely brilliant. We've learned lots and it was so interesting, my son and I were fascinated. Thank you so much, it is clear how much work is needed by you guys to maintain the minster and I have a new found fondness of the building �. Looking forward to any future events.

St George's is a wonderful minster had a wonderful day today at my grandaughter s christening . So warm and welcoming lovely service thank you.

Thank you for another lovely 11:00a.m. Sunday Service Choral Eucharist. Very moving, relaxing and welcoming!



Please 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.’

PSALM 122:6



Please can you also pray for OUR Heavenly Father G-d's protection over OUR town centre shops, restaurants and businesses as there have been a number of break-ins recently, causing great distress to the staff and owners who at the end of the day are only seeking to serve us in the community. Some have been targeted two or three times!

So we stand on G-d's promises and believe in His Word:-

'No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the

L-RD, and their righteousness is (from) of me, saith the L-RD.'

ISAIAH 54:17



Please pray for the salvation of those who persecute us!



Many, many thanks for all that you do for us!



May G-D bless you!



In anticipation of the return of

OUR Messiah Yeshua!!

Really enjoyed the concert, very talented singers and instrumentalists, beautiful location. Wonderful opportunity to surport a brilliant cause. And the mulled wine and mince pies was lovely as well.

Lovely! The Schultze pipe organ is wonderful.

I enjoy the monthly lunchtime recitals

Lovely building with a really interesting history and friendly Church watchers 😊 I stayed at the Premier Inn opposite and had a lovely view of the Minster and grounds from my hotel room 😊

I absolutely love Doncaster Minster. I went into the Minster a few days ago. I was stressed and very unhappy. Upon arrival I was met by a lovely Lady who asked if I would like to look around. I said that I would but could I be alone for a few minutes to pray. This Lady was wonderful and gently took my arm and directed me to one of the front pews.



I prayed for a good half an hour, a thousand thoughts and worries swirling through my mind. I looked down the Nave and up at the great stained glass window. The Sun was shining through and I was struck by an absolute sense of peace and calm. It was quite extraordinary, I really mean that.



I got up and had a quick look around the Minster, and as I left I waved and thanked the Lady who had been so gentle and kind to me.



I will definitely be back in a few days and I think on a more permanent basis as well, thank you, Doncaster Minster!

Hi was made so welcome by all at the minster it's was great to feel all the love �

Fantastic building very peaceful need to visit more often

Beautiful church beautiful people I don't live in the area but will visit on a regular basis ❤️

A most beautiful church. Perpendicular Neo-Gothic with vibrant Stained-Glass Windows. It is well worth a visit.

A gem. Apart from the awful Victorian font.

King John is interred here.

Best point - The volunteers make for a great experience.

Low point - The tearoom serves dry cake.

A fantastic Christmas celebration with high quality performances and the perfect balance of Christmas cheer.

A beautiful building, the bells chiming on Christmas Eve was magical.

Travelled to Doncaster to visit the Minster unfortunately only only the nave was open due to set up for a graduation event tomorrow. Although this was disappointing the lovely staff gave me a little history of the place. Must visit again to have a good look around, maybe you could post visiting restrictions on your events page please. Thank you :)

Visited on our way to york, unfortunately the city of Doncaster doesn´t match other cities all over England, it's dirty not well preserved and you don´t fell safe at all, this cathedral matches the city, good to visit but has little to offer.
