VOLUNTEERING AT THE CATHEDRAL
WELCOME FROM THE DEAN
The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul is immensely grateful for the dedication, passion and tireless efforts of our volunteers. Their commitment is the cornerstone of our operations and governance, enabling us to fulfil our mission and ministry.
We are committed to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of our volunteers, not only as a gesture of our appreciation but also to inspire and encourage continued engagement and growth. To all our volunteers, please know that your contributions are valued and deeply appreciated. The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul pledges to support you, to listen to you, and to provide opportunities for recognition and celebration of your service. Together, we are not just maintaining the fabric of our Cathedral, we are weaving a tapestry of faith, hope and love that stretches far beyond our immediate reach.
VOLUNTEER GROUPS
The work of the Cathedral staff is supported by many volunteers, who enjoy an opportunity to work together in activities for which they have the enthusiasm and skills needed. There are numerous groups, each of which has a coordinator.
The groups are these:
Hospitality
Hospitality volunteers are essential in creating a warm and welcoming environment by serving tea and coffee after church services. They also assist in catering for special services and events.
Vergers
Vergers have an important role in upholding the dignity of worship in the Cathedral, caring for its security and welcoming all who enter it. We play an important part in ensuring the proper functioning of the Cathedral as a place of worship and for the many other roles and activities which it serves.
Sidespeople
The main role of the sides people is to be a welcoming presence at the front of the Cathedral to all those attending our services.
