Reviews of Wellington Cathedral of St Paul

The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul (also called St Paul's Cathedral or Wellington Cathedral) is an Anglican church in the city of Wellington, New Zealand. It is the mother church of the Diocese of Wellington and the cathedral of the Bishop of Wellington. Situated in Thorndon, the main entrance to the cathedral is on Hill Street, at its junction with Molesworth Street; it is located close to the parliament precinct. The building was designed in the 1930s by New Zealand architect Cecil Wood. Construction began in 1954, and was completed in 1998. It was constructed in reinforced concrete due to the effects of the 1931 Napier earthquake making other choices impractical. The church was initially envisioned as a war memorial cathedral, and it was designed on a monumental scale. Archbishop of New Zealand Reginald Herbert Owen declared in 1958: "Every nation needs in its capital city a great church to express its belief in the things of the spirit". The building began to be used as an Anglican cathedral in 1964 (replacing Old St Paul's), and was consecrated in 2001.

A place of calm in the middle of the city. Thursday evensong at 5.30pm is sung by the best children's choir I have heard in a long time and is a lovely way to finish off a day in the city.

Beautiful building Worth a visit, free entrance, located in the heart of the city

Blessing of the Animals, an annual event in October at St Paul's where family pets come together to be blessed.

Fascinating place really brought to life by the wonderful hosts.

Evensong was beautiful, with choir and organ music. Sermon was interesting with ideas to think on during the week

R. M.

Presently Youth services are being held @ 6pm on Sunday nights until at least 28th Aug . These are well patronized with a contemporary band playing modern worship music. There is much joy and freedom of expression and energy occurring. Also short sharp messages which spring out of the speakers personal experience. A complimentary supper is being provided as well as a chance for all sorts of people to become friends in including some street kids. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating, is the spectacular reverberation for many musical genres makes it quite difficult to understand most of what is spoken over the sound system.

Peaceful aura and perfect venue for the launch if Whatarangi Winiata's book
