Welcome

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. We invite you to explore our sacred space. The Cathedral is open to visitors daily 10am - 4pm.

Welcome! Naumai, haere mai! Ni sa bula vinaka!

A Prayer to pray during our Cathedral Interregnum

Almighty & everliving God, you have given your Holy Spirit to the Church to lead us into all truth: bless us your Cathedral family with the Spirit’s grace and presence as we prepare to welcome a new Dean and seek to discern good directions for our future together. Keep us steadfast in faith & united in love that together we may walk the ways of your kingdom; Through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen

APPOINTMENT – DEAN OF WELLINGTON

The Wardens are delighted to advise that an offer of appointment has been made and accepted for the position of Dean of Wellington. A formal announcement, delayed because the appointee’s existing overseas travel commitments preclude advice to his present parish until his return, will be made on Sunday 30th June when Bishop Justin will join us at the 10am service. We appreciate that this timing may be frustrating for parishioners, however, we are sure that you will understand our new Dean’s desire to notify his present parish in person. He will take up the appointment in January 2014.

The Wardens are working with Bishop Justin to ensure that the Cathedral is appropriately staffed for the rest of the interregnum, and hope to be able to tell you more about that shortly.

Wellington Cathedral: Head and Heart

This booklet was published in 1972 as part of the fundraising effort to complete the cathedral. It is a fascinating snapshot of the cathedral at the time, and is available as a PDF by clicking here. It is a large file (16mb) and as such will take a little time to load.

TGIF recitals

Thank God it's Friday! The music department is delighted to announce details of our new recital series. Celebrate the end of the working week with music in the beautiful Wellington Cathedral of St Paul. Recitals take place nearly every Friday, commence at 12.45pm and last no longer than 30 minutes. There is no admission fee, but a retiring collection will be taken to help cover costs.
