Welcome
From Wellington Cathedral of St Paul

Greetings
Welcome to Wellington Cathedral, in the Anglican Diocese of Wellington. Situated within the parliamentary precinct of New Zealand's capital city, we are a vibrant and diverse community of people drawn together to worship God through fine liturgy, good music, stimulating preaching and a sense of belonging. I invite you to explore our sacred space. The Cathedral is open to visitors daily 10am - 4pm.
Welcome! Naumai, haere mai! Ni sa bula vinaka!
The Very Revd Frank Nelson, Dean

Spring Ball 2010
Candle lit romance with a glass of wine, in an awesome and unusual space; the chance to waltz to pipe organ music, a swing band and a string quartet; a silent auction and tasty nibbles during an evening hosted by a well known local comedian … and all for a good cause.
The Fiat Lux Spring Ball is your unique opportunity to live your dreams, as the huge space of Wellington Cathedral is transformed into a dance floor.
Twenty year old convener, Megan Nelson, hopes Wellington people will support this initiative by young adults of the Cathedral to raise money for two special education initiatives. The Good Shepherd Secondary School in the remote province of Kagera, Tanzania, where few young people are able to get secondary schooling, is being built with money from New Zealand. Closer to home, money raised will also go to the Wellington City Mission’s “Mission for Youth Alternative Education Programme”.
The Ball will be held on Friday 1st October, in the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, Moleworth Street. Tickets and information from the Cathedral Office (472 0286) or email wellington.cathedral.ball@gmail.com
Dust off your tuxedo and get ready to dance in the spring at the Fiat Lux Ball.
Ticket price includes two drinks and finger food throughout the evening.
