WORSHIP AT TARANAKI CATHEDRAL – OUR REGULAR SERVICES

May Taranaki Cathedral, the Church of St Mary, always be a place of welcome…and may this be shown through our prayer life.

We are building our pattern of prayer so that people will be gathering in this Cathedral for prayer every morning, noon and evening – and the Eucharist will be offered daily, including a weekly Eucharist in Te Reo Maori.

The calendar of saints will be followed; our Diocesan cycle of prayer will always be prayed through, and the parishes of the Taranaki region – communities and churches, young and old - will be carefully remembered before God.

Anybody passing the door might hear the bell ringing, and joininor just listenin to a beautiful and ongoing conversation between God and God’s people. Anybody not passing the door will know that it is happening, and be enfolded in that prayer.

This is our current pattern of services. On Red Letter saints days or Holy days, where there is not already a Eucharist, there will be a Eucharist at 10am. Call us for more details.
