— ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Eucharist
Eucharist (Holy Communion, Mass, Lord’s Supper) is a central sacrament, the source and highlight of all Christian worship. It has the most prominent place in the rhythm of cathedral worship. Both of our Sunday morning services: 8am (Said Eucharist) and 10am (Choral/Sung Eucharist) are based on the liturgies of The New Zealand Prayer Book/He Karakia Mihinare O Aotearoa. During term time, the choir accompanies the 10am Eucharist and draws us to prayer through the singing of congregational and choral music.
Evensong
Evensong is perhaps the most traditional Anglican service held in the Cathedral and it is this very traditional quality which makes it deeply loved by so many people. The choir sings much of the service which consists of the psalms - a staple of Jewish and Christian worship for 3,000 years - and other texts and anthems from the great Anglican tradition of 500+ years.
Taizé Prayer
Taizé prayer is a distinctive style of meditative prayer developed by an ecumenical community of monks in rural France. A typical Taizé prayer service incorporates periods of silence with meditative readings from Scripture. This is an ecumenical prayer to which people of all religious backgrounds, and none, are warmly welcome
