As this is a developing situation, with contact tracing still underway to identify locations of interest, we believe it is prudent to cancel this weekend's in-person services.

Aotearoa NZ is now using the Covid-19 Protection Framework or “Traffic Light System”. No doubt you will be coming to terms with what this means for many aspects of your life. The following breaks down how things will play out at Taranaki Cathedral. Before we start though, we want to be clear that we support your individual right to choose.

There will be no services offered at Taranaki Cathedral until we are at an Alert Level which requires 1-metre (or less) physical distancing. While the Government rules for Level 2-Delta do allow for in-person gatherings of up to 50 people, Government Guidelines and our Diocesan regulations stipulate that we need to ensure there is a 2-meter physical distance between anyone not in the same bubble. This requirement (and our natural inclination to come together to chat, offer comfort etc) would make... read more

Government and Diocesan advice and rules means that (like everyone) we will be operating differently at Level 2-Delta than we did during previous Level 2 periods. As always, your physical, mental and spiritual heath remains our top priority. No one should feel there is an expectation to attend in-person services – we encourage everyone to consider our on-line offerings as an alternative in the short term. Because of different vaccine statuses, age, health and personal circumstances, we all have different comfort... read more
