A specific purpose donation is one which the donor has requested be used for a particular purpose. See here for a list of some pressing needs, suggested by the Cathedral Finance Committee, which you might like to use your intention for.
St Mary’s Cathedral is more than 150 years old. It is a beautiful building but costs a huge amount of money to maintain. We are continually doing maintainance and restoration work on both the interior & exterior of the Church.
