Wellington Cathedral of St Paul
Situated in the heart of New Zealand’s capital, the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul is a vibrant house of prayer and worship for the nation. God’s great love fills and emanates out of this sacred space, inviting all to experience His presence. We welcome you to step into a place where faith, community, and hospitality converge, offering a warm embrace to everyone—from the people of Aotearoa New Zealand to visitors from across the globe.
Located in Thorndon, Wellington, New Zealand, the Cathedral serves as both a local parish and the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Wellington. As a beacon of spirituality near the centers of government and civic life, we stand as a sign of God’s presence in our world, fostering connection and devotion. Here, we proclaim the word and work of Christ through our worship, witness, and the countless ways we seek to live out our faith together.
We are grounded in Scripture and the transforming Word of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Our love of God is expressed predominantly through Anglican liturgy and choral worship, enriched by the renowned Cathedral Choir. We are committed to maintaining our regular rhythm of prayer, growing together in community, being equipped as disciples, and serving in mission—extending Christ’s love beyond our walls to the city, nation, and world. Whether you’re seeking peace, a deeper faith, or simply a friendly face, you are welcome here.
"May God meet with you here, inspire you by faith, fill you with hope, and guide you in love. The Lord bless you and watch over your going out and your coming in from this time forward for evermore. Amen."
This Cathedral Church is a place of prayerful encounter and community for all the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.
We stand as a sign of faith that points to the reality of God’s presence in our world and lives.
