Worship Online

The Very Reverend Nicola Sullivan

The Minster’s worshipping community extends beyond the doors of the building, across the diocese and beyond. We are committed to continuing to live-stream our Cathedral Eucharist and Evensong on Sundays, together with other special services, to enable those who are not able to join us on site to share fully in our worship.

Our weekly Cathedral Eucharist will appear on this page on Sundays from 10.00am, and will remain available for one week.

Our Sunday Evensong will appear here at 3.30pm on Sundays, and will be available for about one day (until sometime the following day – Monday).

Thursday 28 March at 7pm
The Liturgy of Maundy Thursday

The first of the three services of the ‘Sacred Triduum’ (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Liturgy), which take us deep into the mystery of Holy Week.

Following a joyful commemoration of the Last Supper, with the washing of feet recalling Jesus doing the same for his disciples, the mood then changes with the dramatic stripping of the altars. The service ends with Watch, waiting with Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. For those who wish to stay, the Watch continues until 10.00pm.

Please do join in at home as you are comfortably able: you may wish to stand, sit and kneel as you normally would in church (we have included instructions for posture in the order of service for this reason), and/or to speak and sing along with the congregational elements of the service.

A live streaming of this service from the Minster will appear below at 7pm. You do not need to sign in to watch it.

Good Friday 29 March at 1.30pm
The Liturgy of Good Friday

The culmination of the Three Hours’ devotion. We meet in a stripped, bare Minster to encounter the crucified Christ in a profoundly moving service of music, readings, prayer, and silence, ending with the sharing of Holy Communion at the foot of the Cross.

Please do join in at home as you are comfortably able: you may wish to stand, sit and kneel as you normally would in church (we have included instructions for posture in the order of service for this reason), and/or to speak and sing along with the congregational elements of the service.
