Sunday 11 November, 2018, 10am

With readings, prayers and music for the centenary of Armistice Day.

On Sunday the 26th of August, the Cathedral Choir will present A Mass for Ordinary Time, a jazz-inspired collaborative setting of the Mass by Norman Meehan and Michael Stewart. This was written for the Cathedral in 2016, and will be recorded by the choir in the next couple of weeks with a view to online distribution. Norman will lead a jazz combo of drums and string bass from the piano – come and sing some favourite jazz standards such as When the Saints go Marching In and Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit.

Both Pixie and I wanted to say a huge “Thank You” for the warm welcome that you have given us as we have arrived in Wellington. We have been so touched by the cards and kind emails, and for the encouraging and welcoming words spoken. 

Morph is a TED style theological event that brings theologians from across New Zealand and around the globe to the Cathedral. It will be held in the Cathedral on Friday 17 August from 7-9pm. Visit this page for more information.

The Cathedral is asking for donations to 'stock the Rowes' pantry' - in the
house where they are staying until their own goods arrive in mid-August and
also in the Deanery.

Dear Cathedral Whanau

It is our great joy that Reverend David Rowe has accepted the call to join you in July as Dean of the Cathedral. We are grateful to him and Pixie for making this commitment to serve you in this next season. 

As we lead into General Synod where Motion 29 on the blessing of same-sex relationships will be debated, we felt that it is important to clarify some conversations which we understand have been taking place around David’s position on this issue.

Art lovers will have the opportunity to view the suite of eight paintings by renowned New Zealand artist Melvin Day entitled Stabat Mater Dolorosa, which have been gifted to Wellington Cathedral of St Paul by Day’s estate.   They are being unveiled in the Cathedral  during the Choral Evensong service on Sunday 18 March at 5pm, and will thereafter be on permanent display.

We often see people in need in our world, in our communities and have no idea how to respond. We are made in the image and likeness of God and so we feel compassion and long for things to be different, to be healed, to be reconciled. But what can we do? For faith without actions is dead!

Next Sunday, 11 March is Refreshment Sunday.

The Cathedral is using this as an opportunity to supplement the food bank of the Wellington City Mission.  Below is a description of the work of the Mission and some items which are always in demand.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OFFERING TO ANY OF THE THREE SERVICES.

During Lent this year we will be working through the devotional created by the Anglican Diocese of Wellington, A Sent People. This is a stunning resource to guide small groups through six weeks of study and discussion.  Along with the detailed adult group studies, the resource contains weekly movie recommendations with discussion questions to provide another angle on this year’s theme of “being sent.”  The inter-generational studies are great for families to do together, and contain their own movie recommendations that the kids will love.
