The "Feast of the Dedication of the Cathedral" refers to the liturgical anniversary of the day a specific cathedral building was consecrated. A cathedral serves as the mother church of a diocese and houses the bishop's official chair. 

Today we celebrate the Dedication of St David's  Metropolitan Cathedral in Cardiff.   

We also call this Cathedral  our Mother Church.

St David's Cathedral was built between 1884-1887 by Pugin and Pugin, architects, of London fame.   It was built as a Roman Catholic parish church and raised to cathedral status 1920; the church was gutted after incendiary bomb attack in 1941. The restoration was carried out in the 1950s by F. R. Bates & Son, and Price and the church was reopened in March 1959.
